We’ve been baking some cakes and cookies like that in the Netherlands for decades.

When the MBA’s take over, the company is sucked dry.

Oh no, consequences.

You're suggesting OP stop seeding because those seeders will be able to download faster, but we literally see just a snapshot.

I suggested that OP check their settings.

Are you saying I shouldn't seed because that way an American or European will be able to download faster?

Again, that’s not what I am saying at all. Stop putting words in my mouth.

I can't believe such a toxic and inaccurate comment has this many upvotes.

If you’re looking for a toxic comment, look at your own where you are wilfully misrepresenting my argument, make wild assumptions and then attack those. That's textbook definition of toxic behavior.

At 16kb/s per connection , I think you have to ask yourself if you’re really helping. Have you checked your settings that you aren’t limiting your upload speeds?

Edit: people seem to be offended by this comment, so let me clarify by what I meant with “are you really helping”.

Torrent clients default to a fixed number of peers they download from. If you end up with only 16kb/s connections, you are being limited by those seeders in how fast you can download.

Whereas if there were less seeders but they could provide 1mb/s connections, you are limited by your own internet connection and are downloading full blast.

I hope that clarifies my statement.

Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

I think blast is appropriate in this case.

I’ve been running a self-hosted Vaultwarden server with Bitwarden clients. It’s been perfect. The clients could use some usability work, but other than that, no complaints.

Parachutes also haven’t been scientifically proven to work. They’ve never been double blind tested.

I want a “dumb” phone that can run signal. Just text, calls and signal. No camera, no other apps. It’s time we split the data honeypot back up in to smaller pieces.
