Stremio is a Mediacenter thingy. You can provide different video sources using Plugins. People mainly use it for torrenting. It's nice in theory since it allows you to watch basically anything without having to download it first. It will find and download Torrents on demand and start playing them after a small buffer has been built. But stremio users are only active on a given Torrent while watching its content. Mean…
>But stremio users are only active on a given Torrent while watching its content. Meaning that they contribute nothing back to the network. That's why private trackers are the best. As a member you're mandated to seed what you download for a minimum amount of time or data, which IMHO should be mandatory for P-2-P networks, otherwise the whole concept falls apart if everyone is selfish and only does hit-and-runs.
My goal really is to have a sleek, up to date TV OS that doesn't rely on me buying a specific TV or replacing it every 5 years when it stops receiving app updates.

As a heavy private tracker user I have found that most private trackers life and die by super seeders from seedboxes, just seeding from a home connection doesn't contribute any meaningful bandwidth and only helps you get bonus points from your tracker.

Asking for a friend, if you are a Stremio user, how would you easily contribute back to the network ?
I suspect stremio seeds torrents in the cache directory, so if you increase cache size, you can potentially continue seeding torrents for more time after the initial download.
