(Of course I’m going to stop, but my server has been blocked by Hetzner, would like to recover it XD)
What a tricksy thieving hobbit you are! /s
You’ll be fine. Stop seeding the thing they don’t like and increase your security—VPN, seedbox, private trackers, etc. If anybody asks, you had an asshole neighbor kid who guessed your WiFi password.
Edit: just realized that you were using a server with Hetzner—Germany is one of the worst places for torrenting. Get a server in a friendlier country for that.
Given that it’s Hetzner, there’s not much you can do besides telling them “oops sorry didn’t know this was illegal” and proceed using a VPN on your seedbox, go private tracker or just use a different hoster. Hetzner isn’t a big fan of torrenting since they have the (german) feds in their neck.
There’s no need to answer.
Stop whatever it was they detected. Don’t do that any more.
Just do what they asked you to do. Remove the torrents, it’s not like they are threatening legal action. They are actually asking pretty nicely.
In the future, use a VPN.
They can’t tell if you still have the files or not.
I am not saying remove the files, just the torrent (as in stop seeding).

seed and torrent the letter
Don’t reply at all unless you talk to a lawyer. Seriously, no good can come from it. Quietly disable/delete whatever they list, and never mention it again.
Never use a service that requires you to share the files you downloaded to pirate, not without a VPN. As you’ve might have noticed, their complaint is for distribution, not downloading. That’s where they get you.
Ignore it. Anything you say will be used to build their case. I would just set up another server.
Very, very, very brave you are to torrent on Hetzner lol
You don’t reply, just stop sharing publicly.
Proton VPN stopped the stupid copy right infringement letters from my ISP. Make sure you look up servers that don’t report or respond to requests from companies that request such information from ISP’s.
I use Luxembourg. No issues for years.
Say nothing. Stop sharing or seeding. But, above all, say nothing. You’re getting phished. Just comply and stop seeding the shit. Keep quiet. If you reply you’ll just have problems that cost money.
This. Make the bastards chase you.
Use a VPN
Proton VPN + Secure core mode = slow but damn anonymous torrenting
I hit 80MB/s through my VPN now, which is astounding to me.
If I’m not doing secure core, I pull down probably 92 to 95% of my full Internet speed, which is nothing to scoff at because I have fiber. Proton VPN is incredible. Unfortunately, there’s just no way to make secure core particularly quick. It reroutes through two servers, one of which is in a country that doesn’t have a data extradition treaty or whatever it’s called with the US, such a Switzerland.
