Neat! How do they handle abuse though? Like, people using it to host, say, pirated TV shows? Maybe a max download limit that makes it impractical for that use

Neat!
How do they handle abuse though? Like, people using it to host, say, pirated TV shows? Maybe a max download limit that makes it impractical for that use case?
- Moter8 8y agoThe files are available up until they have been downloaded (from 1 to 100 times) or until a certain timeframe has elapsed (from 5 minutes to 7 days). See the screenshot at the article.
- warkdarrior 8y agoWe are working on a plugin for BitTorrent that will automatically re-upload a file to Firefox Send when the old link expires and then make the new link available in the torrent.
- fwip 8y agoThis is why we can't have nice things.
- richjdsmith 8y agoWhy? Why wreck a good thing so no one else can enjoy it? The torrent protocol is already there. Don't put that cost on the Mozilla Org.
- hbosch 8y agoI certainly hope that Mozilla can/will detect and punish this sort of abuse.
- mont 8y ago2.5GB file limit is a bit small for good quality TV shows (and especially movies).
- giarc 8y agoEven single episodes?
- mont 8y agoThat should be fine, though I'm pretty sure I have some episodes that are above that.
- jhasse 8y agoWith HEVC 2.5GB is perfectly fine for a 2 hour movie.
