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

*edit []
I wanted to run it then I realized that the database would be 90% porn with a sprinkle of csam
- Not the files themselves at least
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.
