The torrents still contain unencrypted http tracker urls, no thanks.

Most if not all relatively modern clients support DHT and other peer locating methods. Just copy the info hash on the torrent results page & paste into your client. HTTP trackers help find peers who are more firewalled I believe, and also potentially speed up the start of downloads.
Use a hosted seedbox then?

For many people this isn't really a problem, seedbox or not.

For others it's not exactly their problem but yea someone upstream may get a "letter".
