They use it internally as well.

Okay, but you're providing more to the swarm than if you weren't participating.

Why are partial downloads evil?

Can you partially seed some of a larger torrent?

Damn. IPT is the first PT I joined, so my ratio is fucked and seemingly unfixable.

Yes, unless you want to still have an engine, then no.

I'll admit to being a little nervous to stand up something on my server that's explicitly named for looting/pillaging, just in case I'm the mark and not the operator.

EDIT: Why is the app having my browser try to load googleads and doubleclick.net ads? I assume the play.google.com and youtube.com integrations are for some additional content?

Question about this: if there's no IP, what is the motivation for creating media or game content?

I have Jellyseerr set up so that I and my friends can request things that will automatically get pulled down. It also has trending and upcoming content, so I sometimes find stuff there. Also, generally, I just see/hear people talking about stuff and want to check it out.

I had 2TB of space when I got my NAS, and that was more than enough for my lab, until I started downloading media. Then I bumped it to 4TB and then recently 12TB.

I want to have content for myself and my users. I will occasionally delete things if I don't think anyone else will want to watch it and I won't want to rewatch it. That's usually nothingy action flicks.
