I would recommend considering Fopnu, Soulseek, ed2k, and DC++ as alternatives for sharing. It's only opening the program, choosing the folders to seed and that's it.
What reasons are there to change into those? I have been torrenting for such a long time it would be lowkey weird to vhange for no reason.
What are the advantages presented by those?
I haven't been able to share much on torrent because I run into memory issues but on those programs I've been able to share a lot, specially in nicotine+ I've been able to share all 160 TB with it being as lightweight as ever. And of course I feel safer sharing without a VPN on there since I've never heard anyone complain about legal issues.
For me the best is ed2k without locking files (soulseek) or good hubs hard to find (DC++).
man, I remember downloading a movie for a week on ed2k in the 90s on dialup only to discover it was scat porn lol
