If you do, I’d be interested to hear results. Deluge’s plugins are nice and it’s easy to make your own. If it wasn’t for the performance issues, I’d likely still be there.
If I own a community that’s related to a piece of software, service, or other community and someone who actually contributes to that wants it, message me and it’s yours. I stake no claim in communities, I simply want to see them exist and thrive.

Ya, my only issue with Deluge is after ~500 torrents it starts to slow. I’m on private trackers, so I always tend to have ~2,000 torrents seeding at once. For my particular usecase, it simply becomes too slow and bogged down to be viable.
Granted, I’ve not used Deluge in some 2 or 3 years; maybe they improved process handling since then? I’d love to be corrected if so.
uTorrent doesn’t play well in the landscape of the modern bittorrent protocol. It’s also adware, infringes upon your privacy, and is a malware risk.
qBittorrent is my client of choice, but other popular and great clients are Deluge (only up to ~500 torrents), transmission, and rtorrent (on Linux). There’s other clients as well but YMMV, especially if you do any private tracker usage.
Ya, no pirate worth their salt would risk it at this point. It’s so infested with malware, with seemingly no moderation, and no meaningful original releases.
AniDB contains hashes for episodes of anime. They’re obviously not all there - really it’s a fraction of a fraction of them - but it’s the most comprehensive public database of anime file hashes.
The endless profits just aren’t endless enough!
Oh I agree completely. Open means it’s open to access, modification, and redistribution. Not closed to two of those three.
No, you’re telling people they’re wrong and it is open source. Not to use other, more precise terms. I hate to have to explain your own argument to you, but you seem to not know what you’re saying.
Then everyone should stop using “open source” or there’s going to be arguments over what counts as open source every single time.
the only reason he even cares about right to repair is for his work
This is exactly it. I appreciate that he’s a strong advocate for it, and he’s a single issue voter/lobbyist, but he really wouldn’t care about it if it wasn’t his business. As can be seen in how, while he so strongly believes in a right for third parties to maintain hardware, he very clearly doesn’t believe in a right for third parties to maintain software with this app being source-available and not FLOSS.
Yes, subscriptions are probably the closest there is to sustainable development in a proprietary framework
So, I really want to be optimistic about this project. I love that it integrates multiple sources, that it lets you use different identities that are not attached to any of these services. I installed it and already paid for it even, because I love initiatives like this.
I think it’s unsustainable. In 5 years, everyone who’d use the app’s already paid for it, which means the devs have no incentive to continue to work, and funding dries up. When that happens, they’ll of course just let the app run until the plugins stop working. Nobody will be able to pick it up and continue development in an open forum because it’s not FLOSS.
My hope is they re-license it under a copyleft license later, but I’m not optimistic about that happening. With how things are now, it does appear to be doomed to enshittification.
These decisions are made by me and me alone
They’re really not though? You can’t just switch off AGPL without explicit permission of every person who’s contributions to the project are being relicensed.
Personally I prefer Invidious for it’s more basic, web-2.0 style UI
If you look at their comment history, it’s a troll account; or just chronically bad takes at least

It’s always sad to see a good resource go away but it sounds like this was the right choice. Hopefully all the content there’s distributed on other trackers so at least that’s not lost.

Name checks out lol
Imagine if companies could just sue and take down products just because they could theoretically be used to view pirated content (not to pirate, but to view it).
