How much does it cost to run a site that deals with pirated content?
Gnarly-Repacks is requesting donations for the renewal bill for their site and I know FitGirl sporadically makes requests for donations as well. It makes me curious what range of expenses do sites like these incur and what they are.
I do vaguely recall The Pirate Bay 2013 documentary TPB AFK talking a bit about their revenue but I don't know if they talked much about their expenses.

If it has a lot of users but no downloads probably runs on a $50-$100 dedi server
If it has no users and no downloads probably a $5 VPS
If it has downloads then a lot
Having the free time to do the repacking costs more
what if the downloads are just torrent files? i mean, they're at least small files
