Not only Stremio, I heard there are other apps that do the same thing Stremio does, which is only leech and not seed.
From my research, the suggestions I found were :
- Disable DHT
- Use blocklists (I am also looking for suggestions, currently considering using this one)
There were also suggestions to block by PeerID, however Stremio generates a spoofed PeerID.
I also learned that Stremio only works if the tracker allows magnet links, but this doesn’t seem something actionable on the peer level.
Is there anything else I am missing?
Thank you for the detailed reply.
I am indeed considering using the peerbanhelper. I will install it and see how it works.
I didn’t say DHT was strictly something specific to Stremio. I mentioned it was what was being suggested by people trying to solve the issue, but I indeed didn’t find anything to support it.
I changed the upload choking algorithm, thank you for the suggestion.
I am aware of !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com but I’d rather avoid the AI slop.
