    Tbh a lot of the torrenting terminology is quite metaphorical and doesn’t make sense without understanding all the mechanics. Seeding? Leeching? Ports? Clients? And even the central concept - “torrent”?

      Fully agree but :

      • how long does it take to look it up online. It surely takes longer to have an answer back
      • you could even ask any AI if looking it up seems too difficult
      • how can you not tell yourself it’s no longer downloading, I am at 100%, I already waited a few minutes then probably it’s doing something else must be safe to stop it and look if my file is OK
