Do you know Anna's Archive already has a feature that lets you automatically download a subset of the torrents that fit under your available storage space and contain the most important (least preserved) data? How is your project different from that?
- sghitbyabazooka 8mo agothat feature has a "max terabytes" field. phones typically do not have terabytes of storage, and even if they did, people may not want to seed that much
- flexagoon 8mo agoIt says "max terabytes", but nothing's stopping you from putting less than 1 there. If you want 10 gigabytes, you can just put 0.01 in there.
- sghitbyabazooka 8mo agowhich means you will get torrents whose total size is smaller or equal to 10gb, which mostly contain metadata, instead of partially seeding actual books, which come in much larger torrents
- yoavm 8mo agoLevin uses that feature exactly! It is not unique in finding what torrents to seed; It's unique in that it dynamically uses the available diskspace (removing / adding data when needed / possible), and automatically turning off when not plugged-in / on wifi connection.
- flexagoon 8mo agoThat makes sense, nice!
