Also: Partial downloads on torrents are ~~evil~~not great^reason for the change. (Still) Don't do that.
Edit: Updated my stance on partial download.
Why are partial downloads evil?
Being not a full seeder you are only giving what you have.
If another seeder quits, nobody can complete the torrent.
Not great.
Not great isn't the same as evil. They're still sharing what they have.
I updated my comment. I kindly ask for feedback if possible
Okay, but you're providing more to the swarm than if you weren't participating.
True. Can't argue with that logic because I use it as well
This is a bad take, I want to auto seed the last 1% of every torrent which is the least available and automatically rotate it. Torrent infrastructure needs to stop sucking.
