The beauty about it's distributed nature is that you don't need anyone seeding for infinity. You just need somebody seeding at all times and if you ever use a private tracker, you'll see that that's not an issue at all.
- DeathArrow 4y agoI saw many torrents with 0 seeders. Someone will be seeding only if the interest in that content is great. Rare content won't get any seeders. Old movies don't tempt many people. I liked DC++ approach on file sharing more. If someone in the network has the file, you can get it, no matter how rare. It can be an obscure film made in 1930 or an mp3 only few people know or care about.
- malermeister 4y agoWas that on a private tracker? Those usually have strict rules around sharing ratios to prevent that scenario and in my experience, it works pretty well!
- DeathArrow 4y agoDC++ is a client for DC/ADC protocol. 20 and 25 years ago, before torrents, it was king and it provided what us, poor kids, didn't have the money to pay for. I guess today it isn't used that much as it used to be. It requires a client for discovery. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC%2B%2B https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC%2B%2B
