I know that direct p2p filesharing programs have been mostly superceded by torrents and even ddl, but sometimes I feel like "trying my luck" with stuff I didn't search for directly (behind a VM, because i'm not that adventurous)

I want to thank you and people like you.

I had someone do something similar for me, when I switched from Plex to Jellyfin I didn't know what I was doing too well and it wasn't as secure as I had thought it was. Well someone found and gained access to it and, rather than doing something nefarious, let me know by changing a few cover art images to a warning explaining that with how it was set up at the time I could get compromised quite easily. They saved my ass from a huge headache down the line I'm sure, and I never got to thank them for it.
