best part of torrenting is the emergent narrative. two boats passing in the night, throwing data at each other. the user in maybe-australia sending me 300mb at 3kb/s on and off over the course of three days. the person in maybe-brazil who i am currently sending a fraction of a 3gb anime to at 10kb/s. who are you. where are you. what are your hopes and dreams. i can only silently applaud your grit and determination in the face of your dogshit internet connections. godspeed
qbittorrent putting little flags with the IP addresses in the peer list has done more for me wanting to keep a good ratio than any private tracker ever did with its Rules and Requirements
