I don't know how much [worth is] in in running it, I have ~6,000,000 torrents in my db and I'm still using the normal trackers, plus you realise (even with the filters now in place) how much objectionable stuff is out there

I wonder what the storage requirements are.

It's in the FAQ:

You should allow roughly 50GB of disk space per 10 million torrents,

So ~5KB per torrent

What are the benefits of selfhosting such a service?
Other than the admin being able to read my search permits prompts, of course, that can be kind of mitigated by connecting through a hidden network.

I wanted to run it then I realized that the database would be 90% porn with a sprinkle of csam
