It depends on how you’re streaming it, but if you use some service that streams a torrent directly and then throws it away afterwards you took the torrent data without contributing anything back to the swarm
Yeah, but as you said, it is highly dependent on the implementation. Theoretically it is possible that the user is also seeding the previously downloaded/streamed chunk (via WebRTC for example if using a browser). That reminds me of a madlad that stores data on a ping packet (see suckerpinch channel on youtube, specifically his video titled “Harder Drive”)
Dunno. If the client does it.
I know there are ways thr request a specific section of a torrent to essentially stream it and once you are done keep it in seed.
i still don’t understand how logging in to Miru with Appimage works, i authorized it and Anilist lists Miru in the Apps section but it’s still not logging me to Miru
okay i figured it out, you have to create a .desktop file for miru in .local/share/applications and it must contain this line:
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/miru;
you can use Gear Lever which adds Appimages to the applications menu and creates the .dekstop file automatically for you so you don’t have to do everything manually even the line above, it also has an update mechanism too
it’s preferable to Temporarily use Brave or a chromium browser as the default for it work properly if Firefox is your default
Try logging into anilist in a browser that has been installed as a native package. Then temporarily set it as the default browser and open Miru then try ‘login with anilist’ .
Imagine streaming anime
Torrent streaming 😎
This kills the torrent
how so?

If you all stream and I’m feed up with you leeching without contributing, who will seed?
Can one not seed while stream? Like keeping cache after you have seen that part and seed that part?
(I have little knowledge on new torrent stuff since I found a net that can be used)

AFAIK Miru keeps the streamed torrent downloaded and seeds it in the background.
Edit: My bad, it seems to be a feature coming to version 6 of Miru, but currently it’s not available.
Cool. How can I do that?
Most torrent clients should have an option to download sequentially. The wording of the option may be different for each one.
On Android, something like Flud with VLC is an ok local & manual option.
Miru for anime is pretty good.
Stremio with Torrentino also works.
Haven’t tried Miru, thanks for suggesting. I’ll check it out.

I think it’s a bug. I can’t login either. I’m on manjaro.

I will try the trick changing the default browser, thanks!

This worked for me.
Wow, looks sick.
Maybe you meant legal streaming anime?
I use Stremio + Torrentio with RD + Kitsu add-ons
Kodi + Fen Light/Umbrella/POV/Seren/Otaku
Anime TV Android app
CloudStream
And my HDDs are happy to not be full all the time anymore lol.
