Why store media locally? Whenever you want you can just download it or pirate-stream it
EDIT
haha y'all downvoters got me rollin 🤣
"Why store anything? Just re-download it from someone who's still storing it!"
You see the catch 22 here?
These are the people that torrent without port forwarding capable VPNs and tell others they don't need it because "it works fine!"
What's wrong with not using port forwarding?
You'll only be able to upload to people who do have port forwarding. Other people who don't have it setup won't be able to download from you even though it shows you as a seeder in the pool.
Oh yikes. Thanks for explaining!
You can't seed properly.
