Hint: they will

Crackstatus (russian piracy site with 30k members) implemented one of our first builds (many features yet coming), see for yourself in info hash variants and magnet link ;)

People are not aware of its benefits and basically don’t know what it is

We just created (1 hour ago) a pull request to the TorrentPier (public tracker engine which Rutracker and many other trackers use). It took 2-3 hours.

Only hybrid torrents allowed currently (torrents containing both v1 and v2 inside)

Ready abilities:

• Show file hashes in file list
• Show v2 hash inside magnet links
• Removed displaying paddings (.pad folder) and counting their sizes.

Tomorrow’s pull request may contain:

• Showing file names, hashes and sizes in a table for search indexers to index (any seo advices?)
• Answer to v2 hash announces
• Some styling corrections

Do you have any other ideas? Please comment.

TorrentPier is the first tracker engine which will release with BitTorrent v2!

No, not yet, this question was probably posted by me. I’m one of the provocators to switch to the new protocol.

The thing is the most tracker admins are:

1. Too lazy to implement it.
2. Have too little information about its benefits.
3. Only heard downfalls associated by compatibility problems, which were exxagerated by people who don’t like to update their software.

I even created a tool called tmrr. Which allows you to extract, compare and calculate file hashes (BTMR hash precisely — BitTorrent Merkle Root, hence it differs from a regular sha256) name for BitTorrent v2 compatible .torrents.

Which already shows some advantages of use of the protocol in user environment, like finding same torrents contents with different names, reviving dead torrents, preserving historical Internet artifacts’ hashes.

The final feature I’m going to release is the ability to download torrents without duplicates (first time in the history of BitTorrent), saving time, storage and bandwidth. Imagine downloading site, page dumps, libraries, video/photo archives and other uncategorized materials without duplicate files.

Easily finding how much user storage specific game and its developers wasted due to ineffective coding.

This feature is ready, but there are some problems in libtorrent (library that qBittorrent uses), which should be fixed by the next release (this year probably) to make it work.

Hope this will get attention from users and accelerate the switch.

Cloudflare (American) is a cancer in this case, cause they have an auto-ban feature, which instantly checks hashes of files in a blacklist and warns domain admins with following ban of dashboard. And this not only goes to CSAM.

Do you usually see mobile versions of uTorrent in memes?

The reason why people put uTorrent in memes is due to its recognition, let’s change this, always create memes with qBittorrent

No it doesn’t, its resource demands are miserable, so don’t worry about it, just let it run in the side.

Bandwidth concerns only should be applied if you have a limited tariff.

The reason why torrenting is so successful, is due to its resource minimalism and ability of current hdd/ssd drives to last long.

Due to only read operations being made, which is a fraction of tear of what write operations are doing.

I have a personal HDD drive (still alive and functioning after 14 years of constant use), started agile torrenting not a while ago (even while I had 2Mbps ADSL connection), already passed TB threshold, and it’s still healthy.

Funny, Russia shut down torrent sites in ~2010, because most of them were filled with foreign stuff, and that was a friendly (back then) request from European government due to global justification steps made in copyright laws.

In overall Russia has the best seeders out there with decent connections, content and loyalty to sharing.

Who even cares about CIA and FBI?

Their perception is too exagerated.

Yes, you can, I would say that it would be good to deduplicate files first.

Also put a txt file with locations and file hashes in torrent, it could be usable if some valuable files were lost in the future due to seeders being inactive and torrent becoming dead, to make .torrent file smaller you would choose a bigger piece size, but in this case users would have to waste additional traffic if they are downloading only files they choose.

It would be nice then to have BEP-47 support for file alignment, but this comes with many padding files locations in torrent’s metadata which makes it bigger.

If you have a big nested structure of folders, then every file there would have something like this info in metadata: folder1/folder2/folder3/file.jpg

All of these problems could be solved, if you’re choosing format to BitTorrent v2 only while creating the torrent, but keep in mind that it won’t work with Transmissions and uTorrents. qBittorrents are working.

You could choose a hybrid, but it makes torrent size a lot bigger.

So overall, bestly you would choose v2 or hybrid (with hybrids sacrificing torrent’s size greatly, but providing your users with file hashes, deduplication and reduced bandwidth), or make at least a v1 torrent, optionally in a client that supports BEP-47 after deduplication and adding .txt

Thank you for thorough clarification

Probably an outdated geoIP routing table.

I too like porn…😉🙃😏

This is probably because you have a dynamic IP address

Nah, let’s start from US -> Virgin Islands

YouTube -> Invidious or even better, odysse -> or even, even better, PeerTube

Exactly, that’s why clients with BEP-47 support should:

Ensure that adding and deduplicating such a torrent does not lead to loss of already existing data.

I doubt that there are decent torrent clients implemented BEP-47 without this sanitization, if any.
