Yeah. I wrote this script wayyy before I found out about the *arr apps. After almost 4 years of tweaking and fixing, now it works so well, I don't really want the hassle of configuring the *arr apps. Also, I download everything from just a couple of trackers, so there's no searching involved.

I have some custom scripts which kinda do what the *arr apps do.

I download torrent files into a folder. My script picks it up, identifies whether it is movie, TV, music, Games, ebooks, or something else. Based on this it selects the right folder. Then calls Transmission API and adds the torrent with the relevant path.

In case of movies and TV shows, it then calls the transmission APIs to rename the files properly. This way I can have my folders well organised and continue seeding without the need of creating duplicates.

This setup works quite well. The only fear I have is the transmission remote GUI for Windows hasn't been updated in 4 years. It works quite well, but it's only a matter of time before it stops working.

Should I consider another client?

I have had my Gmail account for 20 years (since the days of needed an invite). I have 100s of accounts where I have used the id. It's just not possible to change my email id everywhere. I imagine this would be the case for many people.

That's the part you are missing. Modern charging doesn't use standard USB power. That's the whole fast charging landscape is addressing.

The power brick can supply more than 5 V over a standard USB port because it's not adhering to USB standards for supplying power. As a result, data and power are decoupled, allowing the power brick to supply more than a standard USB port over a connector and cable which are identical to USB ports and cables.

Bro, you don't really know anything about USB

The port being USB-C has nothing to do with USB 3.0

The port supporting fast charging has nothing to do with it being USB 3.0

Unless you have transferred data over the wire and seen USB 3 speeds, you can't claim it to be USB 3 based on circumstances alone.

On the other hand, I can totally imagine that 99% people never transfer any data over the wire anymore. Airdrop is fast and convenient if you have a Mac and other solutions exist if you don't. You can easily get 10 MBps+ transfer rates over Wi-Fi and that works fine for most people, if they ever need to transfer data over to a PC anyway. So I'm guessing Apple just took what majority would accept and went with it, just like any other company does these days.

I find it laughable when journos focus on India's coal use. India has been way more aggressive on renewables as compared to what US was in this stage of their development cycle. The richest nation in the world, produces 7 times CO2 per capita compared to India, but somehow it's India's responsibility to focus on renewables and not the USA's, which is still using coal and oil like anything.

There's usually some settings you need to change on your torrent tool, like disarming different, DHT, etc - the sure usually has instructions for beginners.

Not at all required. The client sees a private torrent and does all that automatically.

I have tried this. I'm often reminded the next day that they still haven't received a reply from me.

When people message with a "hi" or "hello" and then say nothing more till I reply.

It annoys the hell out of me. Like, why can't you just say what you want. It wastes so much of my time and mental energy to switch back and forth while I wait for your reply after replying to your utterly useless hello.
