Magnet links are great for trackers dodging liability, but the risk to the user is still the same, correct? The RIAA and MPAA can still monitor connected peers.

I think Mike might be making more of a reference to non-private trackers.

I wish I had your great interface for trusted communities I'm a member of...



Yes magnet links do not make things more secure to the user. It has advantages to the user, the torrent site they use is harder to shut down.


Definitely. We're thinking of open-sourcing it, but we want to clean it up first.

Just a Github button away...


nah... community is always good at cleaning-together :)


I'd love to meet that community :)

Communities are generally pretty bad at product design though. Having a BDFL that has ears open but a straight cannon. We're trying to do that here.
