Option to stop/block seeding

Open VELTR0 opened this issue 10 months ago • 7 comments

Add an option to stop or block the seeding process. There are some cases where seeding can turn into a problem.

Please elaborate this and be more technical. What exactly do you mean by "a problem"?

Legally speaking some countries like Germany (even with VPN) can track and sue you. I'm saying this out of experience :)

Not entirely sure, you are save here with a VPN, if you were "tracked" even when using VPN you didn't bind the Interface and your real IP leaked. Just have to double check everything ;)

But yeah Having this option is important as in germany you don't receive warnings like in the US, you instantly receive a cease and desist with a hefty fine to pay

does hydra even leave the torrent seeding? I thought it automatically stopped seeding

Options like stop seeding, bandwidth cap and pop up after downloading should be implemented in future

I think binding to a internet profile like one that Mullvad generates when you use the VPN is also needed too.

It doesn't looks that hydra allows torrent seeding right now. It will be an option in the future? More people seeding means faster download speed for who are using the launcher.

Yes; closing this since Hydra does not seed at all.
