I don’t watch them obsessively, but once or twice a month I’ll take a look to see if there’s been any errors pop up (sometimes lists go dead) and everytime I’m floored by the %s. Just looked and 74.4% of all my dns queries are blocked. 3x the number of legitimate requests are blocked. Feels like just a few years ago it was closer to 50%. Makes me wonder how much worse things will get.

yaroto98@lemmy.orgto Technology@lemmy.zip•[Opinion] Firefox is dead to me – and I'm not the only one who is fed upEnglish1·11 days agoEh, kinda pointless article rant. OK, Firefox is dead to you due to some recent bad decisions they’ve made. I don’t disagree.
But that’s it, end of opinion. Chrome is way worse. Grabbing a firefox fork doesn’t fix all your complaints. Might fix their T&C issue, but not the dropping of features.
Chromium? Puh-leeze. You’re trusting google to behave in an un-google fashion. It’s still going to phone home and upload all your data. Downstream fork that claims privacy and security? I have doubts.
At this point it’s all a browser garbage fire. Just because one is getting more rancid doesn’t make the alternatives any more appealing.
I don’t believe so. I’m fairly certain it’ll connect to as many as your settings will allow. I connect to 40+ seeders fairly routinely.
Though there are other settings that will effect who connects to you or not. Encryption is one. Some leechers require the seeder sends an encrypted stream. Another is the port forwarding. If you don’t have your port forwarding settings set up properly on your client and router then not as many will connect.
On the other hand if your home network upload is maxed out due to low cable/dsl upload speeds, that’l stop new connections too.
