I think triggered snowflake fascists are the only people who still use those rating sites. Then, they the user ratings (which they rigged) don’t match the staff ratings.
Not 100% on the terminology. Peers are everyone connected. Seeders have 100% of the file, and leechers don’t. Leechers can be someone who stopped halfway and uploads the half they have, or someone who is still downloading, or someone who actually leeches.
Seems to be a good app if you pair it with Real Debrid. Good UI, good platform support, very popular. I just don’t want it wasting my seeding bandwidth.
Yes, because of Proton, which is a version of Wine optimized for Steam games. Some games have official compatibility. For the rest, you have to tick a box saying to use Proton even if it hasn’t been tested, and 90% of them just work.
Torrents are people sharing files with each other, uploading and downloading. Stremio downloads, but never uploads. And now it doesn’t want you to know who’s using it, because people kept banning it.
If you use a debrid service, you’re okay because the debrid service just downloads the file once and caches it for everyone, and you pay for the bandwidth to download from them. That isn’t excessive leeching, whether they seed or not.
It does dominate my personal bandwidth. You’ll notice if one of your torrents is on their app. You’ll be uploading all day and it’ll fill half your peers list.
You still got it half wrong. I2P hops don’t know each other. The big difference is I2P tries to make every user a relay while only Tor relays are relays. Hence Tor torrenting is not recommended because it overloads the limited relays, I2P torrenting is fine because you expand the pool of relays at the same time. I2P doesn’t really have exit nodes, too, so it’s a separate network from the internet.
Like the Bahnhof ISP in Sweden. They were ordered by a court order from Elsevier (the academic journal extortion firm) to block sci-hub, so they blocked sci-hub and Elsevier journals.
