I've seen the vlc addon that can play torrents but doesn't that kill them? You're not seeding anything by just streaming and leaving when the movie is over. Idk, seems like a shitty thing to do
@sneezy Yeah this is entirely reliant on the idea that you're only streaming from torrents that have enough seeders that you won't kill the network.
Classic tragedy of the commons, and definitely a shitty thing to do.
