Why I Would Never Seed a Torrent (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

In the world of file sharing, BitTorrent has long been hailed as the go-to protocol for its efficient initial distribution capabilities. However, when it comes to maintaining availability and ensuring the longevity of shared files, BitTorrent falls short. There are several alternative platforms that make it much easier to share files, allowing the seeder to reorganize the files to their hearts' content without losing the ability to keep seeding to a torrent. Fopnu, eMule, DC++, and Nicotine+ are some of the better alternatives that make sharing a breeze.

You can't complain about a supposed problem... When you yourself are actively making a it a problem... "Sherlock"

Edit: This is akin to punching yourself and wondering why you have a black eye.

I'm sorry, but that's factually not what you stated. And even then... it's irrelevant.

DHT and PEX exist. You don't need a central torrent tracker to use the torrent protocol. Much in the same way that ed2k+kad works.
