As far as the downloading via ftp from the seedbox I would assume that would be under the radar. Let me hear what you think.

Yeah you will be under the radar for whatever they are monitoring. I do not think anything more is necessary but if you want to take if a few steps further... Use HTTPs for webui if you are not already and most important don't use FTP, use FTPS or something encrypted to get the file from the server to yourself. Again I don't think it is necessary to go that far but if you are trying to stop all monitoring that should pretty much do it.

Also to consider is how you are getting the torrent files in the first place. Proxy through your seedbox if you can to browse the sites, use HTTPs when possible bla bla.

again I think you have already covered all the bases that matter, just trying to see how to turn the tin foil hat in to a tinfoil helmet.

Just another example of how big corporations are trying to stick it to the rest of us.
