I have Proxmox installed on a small computer that has a container running Docker running Gluetun and qBittorrent.

One feature I like about qBittorrent though is the ability to bind to an interface.

I was thinking of setting up a dedicated box to serve my files on all the P2P networks I could find. I don't even know if some of them are active any more.

I do know that edonkey still has some peers. WinMX became DarkMX and has a few dedicated peers. Other than that, IDK. What about Limewire, Phex, or gnutella in general? Does anyone still use these old nets?

The link looks fishy. 'ytmnd.com' looks like a spammy domain.

@lamp @CanaryWhiskey oshit it's lemmy lmao this explains why the tagging is fucked
It *is* a spammy domain, it's the ancient meme sharing site.
Don't be a removedbrain that puts all your fucking secrets in the browser and allows scripts to run everywhere to steal them. And, y'know, don't install the toolbar. It's literally that easy.

Alternate version: You are, without a doubt, the worst pirate I have ever heard of

Your juvenile and race-slur language and profanity are unacceptable, dumb savage behavior. You might think you are being 'edgy'. You're just a spectacle of stupidity. [blocked]

@dj @lamp @CanaryWhiskey He didn't do what he wants because he is not free.

@lamp @filesharing

I guess it depends if you mean between your own devices or with other people on a large scale.

For sharing some one off files between my own devices I use Local Send. It is across all major platforms like Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.

DarkMX is old-school and very retro:
https://darkmx.app/

It also has a debian package downloadable from the site. One can run it in a container and forget about it.

Last week I used transmission-GTK to download a Linux ISO. I occasionally use LibreTorrent on Android, but only when I need to grab something away from the Desktop machine.
