How big is the spike? If it's in hundreds of KB, yeah, chances are it really is downloading something. If it's in bytes, it's probably dead, those are just sync packets most probably.

YTS ๐Ÿคจ?

Is it actually downloading or just saying it's downloading? Like, is the there some trafic downstream?

I do this all the time, I see nothing wrong with it, this person expalained it, but I thought it was obvious ๐Ÿคจ... like, I would like someone to do the same while I'm talking about something, cuz that shows interest and that that person can relate to my problem(s).

On the other hand, if people are like "yeah, yeah, I get it... mhm, yeah, you're right... mhm... mhm..." I just stop talking, it's obvious they're not interested in the subject I'm talking about... well, at least that's my reasoning.

I though this was just a problem around here (I live in a 3rd world country... not exactly, but close to that). Shit, I mean, I can't afford simple things, like cheese or vegetables... they're so fucking expensive now ๐Ÿ˜”.

EDIT: A short story. I got together with my cousin the other day, he was eating a burger and I asked him how much he paid for it, he said $3. I told him that I just bought a flash drive for $3, 32GB and I will use it in the next 3 or 4 years, while he'll shit that burger in a few hours...

I mean... tech has gotten so cheap, while food is so expensive now. You could get a brand new 240GB SSD for the price of 2kg of cheese around here ๐Ÿคจ... that is just... weird if you ask me...

Depends on where you got the torrent, but those seeders might actually be just wrong reports by the tracker. It has happened to me as well. I've left torrents for months just to see if it will eventually start downloading... nope, just sitting there, idle.

Can't say what the real reason behind this is, but my best guess is some bots are reporting wrong info via DHT and/or the trackers. Why? Have no idea, your guess is as good as mine ๐Ÿคท.

Hm, that is weird... they should change with the theme...

I don't know if there is an xfce comm here on Lemmy, but if there is, it's best to ask there, since this is an xfce specific thing (KDE or other DEs may implement this differently).

EDIT: There is, !xfce@fedia.io, but the last post there is from 4 months ago ๐Ÿ˜”.

Yep, first a test run ๐Ÿ‘.

Though I use fish as well, this is some good info ๐Ÿ‘.

And myself happy as well. I get easilly iritated if I don't do the thing at least once in 2 or 3 days.

You could actually install Windows on btrfs with that driver ๐Ÿคจ? Never tried it... but would be willing to try, since I'm sick and tired of Windows store corruption ๐Ÿ˜’.
