Out of interest, do you know if it was the exact same torrent (modulo trackers), i.e. the same infohash/magnet? You could have a look at the created date in the metadata to get an idea. One unfortunate thing with torrenting is how you'd often get the same content but in slightly different torrents, sometimes differing only by "torrent downloaded from xtremetrackrr69.txt", which would split the users into different swarms. Bittorrent 2 does actually fix this, by having per-file hash trees rather than non-aligned blocks, but you do still need to add each torrent before your client can notice the duplicate files. Though perhaps there exist reverse indexes which can find other torrents for a given file hash now

I don't know; it says "uploaded on 2007-10-19" with my (old) username, so I assume it's the same torrent. It doesn't have the "Downloaded from Demonoid.txt" file though, so maybe I'm misremembering that I uploaded it to Demonoid, or it's a different torrent (but with "my" files). To be honest I can't be bothered to look at it further, but here's the torrent if you want to look at it yourself: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=3848177 https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=3848177 (with the disclaimer that some comments in the README do NOT represent my current attitude or views, and haven't for well over 10 years)

    To be honest I still don't really like either; Stargate is fun at times but superficial and has some serious weirdness (in a bad way) at times, and Enterprise suffers from even more time-travel nonsense than Voyager did (plus some other things). It's okay to like things or not like things, it's the "bruh huh I'm so much smarter than all you mainstream nincompoops" kind of attitude I dislike. I suppose it's a classic youthful "rebel against the mainstream" kind of attitude shrug
