Ask HN: Googledrive.com showing up in my torrent's peer list?
How is googledrive.com showing up as a peer in my torrent's peer list ??
Here's a screenshot I've taken - https://imgur.com/j8yYOqq
UPDATE: Looks like it's been solved. Apparently http seed are a thing.
Here you can see the seed specified in the torrent properties - https://imgur.com/MXF2yfA

- sjnair96 10y agoThanks! Had a hunch it was something like that. Like this right http://techie-buzz.com/how-to/what-are-web-seeds-bittorrent.html http://techie-buzz.com/how-to/what-are-web-seeds-bittorrent.... ?? Seems cool. Wish I'd known this earlier. However it looks like an abuse of the service.
