People completely missing the point for an opportunity to shit on Apple is on brand though. Lol.

My fault. Sorry for the panic!

Yes! Private sites’ .torrent and magnet links know who you are so they can track your ratio.

The passkey is also why you shouldn’t share torrent files.

I don't do subs either, but I think Infuse is so good I made the one exception. I've been using it for about a year and haven't had any issues. It does everything I've wanted it to do. However, at $10/yr for the subscription, that lifetime price is way too ridiculous. I'll pay the sub and move on to whatever looks better each time the subscription is up for renewal.

I've also read various app reviews that lifetime only applies to the current version (i.e. 7.x), so you'd have to pay lifetime again for the v8. I can't verify this of course, so take it with a pound of salt.

The only irritation I've had with Infuse is that it only understands "aired date" metadata. If you have something in "dvd order" it can't download that. This is a problem people have complained about for quite a while. I don't think this is an issue for you though since I think you're getting your metadata from JF anyway so Infuse doesn't have to do it?

We’re good! See https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/547459 for more info.

To the Moon. Omg. All of the feels. Def recommend, but keep some tissues with you!

You may notice slower speeds and difficulties downloading rare stuff. Generally, you'll probably be OK if you're looking for well-seeded files.

See here for a bit better explanation.

Saw this earlier today and thought it was helpful understanding how it works from a high level. Nothing about Freenet though (: https://protonvpn.com/blog/what-is-i2p/

Yeah, ironic. A medium that should encourage vibrant communication and idea exchange has instead nurtured ignorance and hate. 🤦‍♀️ Thanks for your post!

I don't see any wrong answer; both options have advantages. Personally, we've already waited this long, what's another few days?

Have you always needed a separate indexer? I vaguely recall using Usenet a decade ago and being able to download directly from the thread I was browsing. Do some providers include an indexer with the Usenet subscription?
