The law firms aren't going after everyone who is torrenting, they are going after people downloading copyrighted material. You're not going to get a letter if you're downloading a torrent of the latest Ubuntu image.
- aasasd 6y agoNot guaranteed, actually, due to the carpet-bombing strategy of targeting the ‘culprits’. Can't remember if Linux specifically was involved, but there certainly were some misfires. (Ironically, when I tried downloading fresh Ubuntu with desktop Transmission, it froze for a rather long while, presumably due to the near-two-thousand peers.)
- smabie 6y agoIt's not going to connect to most of them. The protocol doesn't scale linearly with the number of peers, so most clients won't connect to more than like 50 at a time. And will download from even less. With an infinite number of peers, 0% of the traffic would be actual file chunks. 100% would be bookkeeping. I guess that's a long winded way or saying that the issue probably wasn't with the number of peers.
