Tried qBittorrent and Transmission, they don’t do better, in fact they see the same number of peers as Tixati does. And i don’t know what would happen if i had two clients try to download the same file, probably nothing good.

Are you trying to do this too?

Oh i see it now, i didn’t mean it like that lol

Yeah as far as i can tell the best way to do this is to export all magnets out of the old system, import them in the new system, make sure the file path / location is correct, and force check. It’s what i did, but a lot of transfers are apparently only 99% complete even though they were 100% before. Of these, many have 0 peers so i don’t know if there’s any hope of them completing.

It’s a shitshow. Honestly i fucking hate torrenting right now, nothing ever works

Thanks, that’s really sick! These are torrents though, i was thinking of trackers

Man i wish. Here in France they actually send letters and you get a 1500€ fine if you ignore them three times.

Or at least they did back in the day, do they still? Well i’ve already gotten 2/3 letters so i’m not gonna try to find out

Oh my god, i think someone may have recommended this to me years ago and i just forgot… Thanks!

Yeah they’ll lawyer up, but only for themselves. They have no reason to to do anything that benefits the rest of us.

Maybe the torrenting community could see some legal benefits, but only if incentives align. Which they very well may not because Meta is not one of us and their interests don’t really align with anyone else’s.

“invest” implies that you could make your money back.

This is what i expect to see in a piracy community on Lemmy

I’ve been torrenting with VPNs for years and never understood how they work together. I just really wish i didn’t have to do this, i already struggle enough without the added complexity
