[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 71 points 2 years ago (3 children) I was going to comment that torrent client, torrent search and VPN aren't necessarily used for piracy, and then I saw the search query. Realistically though, these three publishers must've added “netflix” as keyword, and Flathub must've not noticed/cared. Still funny as fuck, though. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Link@rentadrunk.org 13 points 2 years ago (2 children) Also ProtonVPN is missing the blue check mark so it is published by the community. Not sure ProtonVPN would approve of the world Netflix to advertise their service. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Ghoelian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago* Yep, it's in the description: I don't think they'd care though, they have an entire page dedicated to netflix on their own website: https://protonvpn.com/streaming/netflix Edit: they just copied the description of the Android app word for word permalink fedilink source parent [–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 0 points 2 years ago Pretty sure they wouldn't, indeed. permalink fedilink source parent [–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 11 points 2 years ago (1 child) ahah great indeed.

Especially with famous content that is also large in size. So 10GB files that everybody want to download now! You really want to go for bittorrent. That is also the reason I was trying to convince those AI people to use bittorrent to share their large models.. But no... they keep using git (like hugging faces does). I give up on AI people. permalink fedilink source parent [–] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago In my experience, it really depends. Like, for the Arch Linux iso it's basically the same, but for some more niche distros, there might not be many seeds so direct download from a local mirror might be faster. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Brickardo@feddit.nl 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Unfathomably based by the publishers, regardless. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 years ago Yeah, I checked and the publisher of Torrhunt and the client did add “netflix torrent” as a search term, the third party individual who put ProtonVPN there added “Watch Netflix from any device” in the description for some reason. permalink fedilink source parent
