It's also not the same thing because that's being done by endpoints instead of the platform as an intermediary. > This issue exists one layer up at the level of BitTorrent trackers (without which BT is mostly useless) Modern BitTorrent uses a DHT for this. Trackers, to the extent that they still exist, are just to make peer discovery faster. > Linux: Not a platform, but you could probably get banned from package mirrors if you get the same IP as some asshole trying to DOS them and waste bandwidth There are many independent package mirrors and also you can access them from any IP address (e.g. using a VPN again).
