That’s why the non-parentheses number is zero for all seeded torrents. In parentheses number is “hey I’m here”. Out of parentheses number is “hey I’m here. Let me in.”

For actively downloading torrents they’re an indication of connection health. If there’s 150 announced seeders but you only open a connection to one or two of them, you might have a network problem.

lol

Considering TPB is garbage and shouldn’t be used anymore, I see this as an absolute win

That would require reddit to actually be making a profit…

my guy you can’t waltz into the hornet’s nest with a baseball bat and then complain when you get stung.

the only winning move is not to play. just shut up, delete your reddit account and walk away.

TF2 sniper approved.

A modified file will not pass the original torrent file hash integrity heck, and trackers will not consider a torrent with a modified hash as “the same”. So the bittorrent protocol is actually quite resilient against an injection attack.

This is it. If you know where you downloaded from and can match up the file names, just put the movie in the downloads folder (or point your torrent client at the folder containing the movie when adding the torrent). It’ll do a piece-by-piece check then start seeding.

Literally nothing to do with putin, and you’re in the wrong community. Bad spam account.

Edit: stop editing the title 500 times moron

Licensing, probably. H.265 is very not open and you have to pay the MPEG piper to actually use it.

Ah perfect. I’ll throw some of the 300gb archives on my rig when I get home.

They are meant for long-term preservation.

This is basically a “distributed backup” of the entire database. The torrents are not actively serving files- they’re there to store multiple copies of the main database across the globe so that the entire database can be recovered (by anyone with the requisite knowledge, mind you) in the event that something happens to the original Anna’s Archive team or the main database is lost/seized by “law enforcement”.

It’s equivalent to how backup managers in ye olden days would make broken up piece files of a certain size that could fit onto a CD or DVD, so you could fit the entire contents of a large 20+GB hard drive onto multiple smaller media. The backup itself is not accessed unless your main hard drive crashes, in which case you reassemble all the individual pieces back into your complete OS environment after replacing the hard drive.

Id happily seed a tb or so of the most in-danger torrents. My internet aint much but my old pc is almost always on.
How do I know which of the piece torrents are high or low on seeders? Maybe I’m just being special or can’t see it on mobile but is there no way to check each torrent’s health without actually downloading every piece and putting it in my torrent client?

you may have weird cache settings that is storing large amounts of the torrent data in memory. this is not inherently bad- reduced disk IO hits extends disk life and increases performance, unless your system is memory constrained and it’s affecting other programs.

how are you viewing memory usage? virtual memory pages and true physical memory usage can be displayed very weirdly on a lot of linux systems

Meanwhile me, who is behind so many layers of badly configured ISP NAT that there’s no way anyone knows exactly what computer is downloading what: 😈

Productivity = At least 3 shitposts per day on lemmy shitpost

No and don’t waste your time buying accounts on a dying site

This requires defining an additional separation between “lazy, but productive” and “lazy but NOT productive”

Based off this incomplete thread official integration is desired but not yet complete. Sorry didn’t look into that first.
