When torrenting your client should be “Connectable” which means fully accessible from others. You can use the guides others have posted to achieve that but basically, an unconnectable client can still seed to those who are connectable, but two unconnectable clients cant connect to each other. Or at least this is how it has been described to me by a private tracker.

Personally I use Kavita on my server that houses all my *arr apps. Not for everyone but I enjoy it.

There is still one where I live, and I read the other day that my town is building another one on the other side of town. So at least some places still have them. I remember spending my whole summer at ours in my hometown, but I haven’t been to my local one in the 10 years I’ve lived here. Not sure how I would go about being comfortable to go by myself as a young adult, though I know no one else there actually cares. Nice read by the way.

And it will only have been a year when it shuts down, not even a year before the announcement of EOL. Dead games suck. Software shouldn’t be able to die, but this will end up being something unplayable very soon and that just sucks whether you like the game or not really.

Such a shame to see a game killed so soon after release.
