>>1301972theres no such thing as a refurb drive. theu are used and they wipe the dust off. if it's over 10k hours be wary, over 50k very wary. but i've personally used drives that are 10+ years old with closer to 100k hours without issue, likewise i've had drices under 10k die. just know that all HDDs are consumable items and should be replaced every 3-5 years, or about every 50k hours

>>1301578no because that infromation generally comes from the swarm, you'll need to add it in a paused state and your client will try to pull the metadata without downloading the data data.
>>1299896>apparently you don't need trackers for a public torrent?all torrents need a tracker, but you can add your IP as a tracker for either public or private torrents.
if you don't specify a tracker to seed on, theres no way any clients can "track" where to get the files from.
thay said, if you do specify a tracker to seed on, clients might not need to specify a tracker to download from, as some modern clients can search public trackers for a matching hash. but you still need a tracker, always, even if it's your IP.
>>1300527on a given website it's usually not real-time, but peers are clients in the swarm and seeds are clients that are uploading. leechers are only downloading.
if there are seeds but none of them are on your client, it's because you aren't able to connect to them for any number of reasons. low seed ratio om that tracker making you lower priority, your IP is chinese, russian or israeli and therefore blocked by most people, bad neteorl confif, etc etc
