That's cool... since I have a seedbox anyway, I'd still just use that and then sftp the file to my local.  That said, I do tend to just VPN to home over wireguard, though may switch to tailscale for convenience... I do this more for my pihole on my phone than for things like torrents though.  Since that tends to be over https/sftp for me.
