At a glance, it seems like a issue Apple needs to fix. What could the developers do to fix it here?

I use torrents heavily despite subscribing to 4 different streaming services because I live in Canada and we don't yet have Hulu or HBO Max. Plus I also like watching some older movies via 2160p bluray rips and torrents are just the easiest option to do so. That plus it has everything. I use Transmission for torrents and then https://airflow.app/ to cast movies from my Macbook to my Firestick/Chromecast, which I find…
If you want quicker speeds, look into usenet. Have to pay for a decent news hosting and indexer, but after some tweaking you can download new releases so much quicker without worrying about vpns and ratios. At this point I have Plex and Overseer hooked up to Prowlarr, Sonarr, Lidarr and Radarr, with Prowlarr connected to my nzb client and server (it was easy to cut over from transmission, using the secure ports to ta…
I don't think I've ever found torrent download speed a limiting problem. I've much more often had problems finding peers to enable downloading 100% of the file at all, because most of what I download is stuff that's old enough (in time since the torrent was created) that mostly the torrent isn't being actively seeded any more. How long do files generally "stick around" on Usenet?

No consumer cloud storage charges you for transfers.
If I'm reading the AWS S3 pricing charts right[0], you get charged 0.09 USD per GB for the first 10 Tb of transfer out of US East. If 1000 people download my 1 GB file that I host on S3, that'll run me 90 USD. You can host on Wasabi which is the only object storage I know where out is free, but my understanding is that the storage is more expensive.

By "consumer cloud storage" the GP commenter likely meant to refer to services like Dropbox, Mega, etc.; not to IaaS object storage (which would more appropriately be called "commercial cloud storage.")

I never torrent for ethical reasons, but I just jumped onto soap2day to check if they had something that I've been on the lookout for (Abacus: Small Enough to Jail) and they don't have it.
Yeah, not everything, but between torrents + paid streaming + soap I dont have a problem.
I google'd "Abacus: Small Enough to Jail", the full thing is (legally) on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKPa4OIVN4U
But geo-locked to US only. You can still download it using any YT downloader @ 1080p (851mb), for ex:

Re: Transmission v4.0
#36For whatever reason the ARM version of Transmission does not work well on my M2 laptop - it downloads quickly at first and then drops off to zero, and had some other bugs (the x86 version always worked flawlessly). I tried playing around with different settings, running their nightly builds, etc, and nothing fixed it for me. In the end I searched for other clients and found them all filled with ads and bloatware, and…
I encountered a similar issue on my M1 machine in the 4.0 betas. I went back to 3.00. Hopefully this has been fixed in the final release.

Put some padding on the UI. I had a quick look and I couldn’t find any app that had UI in the space the scroll bar shows in.
Apple is clearly never changing this as they and every other app developer puts a 10px padding in and it looks better while not having a scroll bar obscure anything.

I just downloaded Transmission 4 via Github and it works on my M1 Macbook. I previously had problems with beta versions as well, so I guess they addressed that.

It's not Apple's issue to fix, I don't know what that person is talking about. On macOS the scroll bar is hidden and only shown when you scroll, over the window's content and gets wider if you mouse over it. It has worked this way since 2011 and it's not going to change. There's a setting to disable it system-wide but 1) I'm not going to enable something that permanently takes away 1% of my screen space systemwide just for this 2) this is the default scroll bar behavior, so most macOS users have this issue where clicking the most important "open torrent" button requires waiting a few seconds for the scroll bar to go away.
Transmission needs to add like 20 pixels of padding after the magnifying glass for the scroll bar if the user is on macOS and has this setting enabled.

Ah that makes sense! I occasionally use Wasabi to sling files around so that's where my mind was when I made the original comment.
I do feel like you do end up paying for storage if you're sharing anything significant in size, which is where torrents become more convenient imho if both parties know how to use a torrent client.
