Re: Transmission v4.0
#3I kind of thought the project was dead with how long it went without a release. I ended up switching to qBittorrent about 8 months ago as I needed v2 torrent support. So far I have been very satisfied with the switch.

#4> The entire codebase has been migrated from C to C++. In the process, we've removed thousands of lines of custom code and used standard C++ tools instead. The core's code has shrunk by 18%. The core codebase has been extensively refactored to be more testable and maintainable.
I love negative-LOC commits! They warm my heart. As do the people who take the time to make them.

#5I don't remember why or how I ever picked up uTorrent, but that's the client I've always used. Thinking about torrenting just now, I realize I used to download torrents much more often than I do these days. I guess that's due to greater availability of video content on the streaming platforms and music on Spotify, etc.? What else do people use torrents for from a consumer perspective? Is there a wider everyday use case that I'm unaware of? Genuinely curious.

#6Man, this is a throwback. Nice to see the project is still alive. Does it support thin client setups?
I might have to get the ol’ seed box going again.

Well, it can be used to transfer any large files amongst a bunch of people.
I like the protocol in theory. If n people want the same resource, it seems better if they get that in a sort of distributed way rather than all of them connecting to a central server to get that resource. Can be useful if you're on a slow network. I wonder if existing routers along the way make this efficient regardless.
Some Linux distros nudge you towards torrents to download its .iso file even if direct download methods are available. Xubuntu is one such distro [1].
Also, can anybody from Germany confirm if there's a ban on torrenting over there? I hear some governments/ISPs etc are starting to blanket-ban the entire protocol to prevent proliferation of pirated movies, which seems to be what the protocol is used for in practice.

Same situation as you. Used to be involved in the whole private tracker thing too. Was a mix of online services getting better, and me having more money.
Hardly ever torrent stuff now.

These days it’s much more practical to just upload it to cloud storage and share a link.
Sure in theory it’s not the absolute fastest way but it’s massively more convenient and regular users aren’t sharing 1TB files.
