OVH are most certainly not popular with the scene!

That said, OVH is extremely popular with those involved in piracy more broadly, and their servers are used extensively as seedboxes.

My bad, maybe I got the popular seedbox hosts confused with the popular topsite hosts. For some reason, I seem to remember OVH being mentioned in a scene notice. It might've been when they busted a topsite for leaking releases to a seedbox used by a private torrent site uploader.

Yep, if OVH were referred to it would only have been in a negative context, e.g. outing a P2L (Pay to Leech) site or someone seeding files to torrent trackers.
