Why isn't this built into thick desktop BT clients? Is it just a little too early for it, and next year it will be? Or is there some reason I'm missing?

- austhrow743 3y agoPeople who are in to torrenting enough to consider self hosting a bitttorrent indexer largely dont use desktop BT clients. They chain different software together on a home media server or seedbox such that the whole concept of torrents, seeds, trackers, etc is unseen plumbing and instead you have interfaces focused on the content. Descriptions, trailers, actor lists, etc. You subscribe to a tv show for example and then episodes are just automatically downloaded as they air according to your preset quality criteria, then they appear in your own personal netflix style app.
