Damn leechers. This is how p2p and user-friendy apps actually kill torrenting.

  The app itself isn't seeding? This is both good and bad. The bad part is that it really damages torrents, the good part is that it's legal.

    Might be fair to add a "seeding allowed" option for those in countries not yet 5 miles into the MPAA's butt, or behind a VPN.

    It's seeding while it's streaming, and I think while on your PC too (until reboot), which seems like a pretty smart way to deal with seeding/leeching ratios to me. Legal? Seriously? You're downloading a free movie, and you're worrying whether uploading it or not would be illegal? It's already illegal. But that hasn't stopped people from using torrents, has it?

      > It's already illegal. No it's not. In general. Depends on where you live. But for me it's illegal to distribute it though, which torrent protocol does.

      Distribution (uploading) of movies carries much harsher penalties than downloading movies.

      Not everyone lives in 'murrica. In Switzerland (and Germany I think) downloading is perfectly legal. Uploading is not, as you are distributing instead of just consuming. Similar to how drug laws work here, you won't get busted for smoking a joint, but you will get busted for selling stuff.
