It depends on how you’re streaming it, but if you use some service that streams a torrent directly and then throws it away afterwards you took the torrent data without contributing anything back to the swarm
Yeah, but as you said, it is highly dependent on the implementation. Theoretically it is possible that the user is also seeding the previously downloaded/streamed chunk (via WebRTC for example if using a browser). That reminds me of a madlad that stores data on a ping packet (see suckerpinch channel on youtube, specifically his video titled "Harder Drive")
If you all stream and I'm feed up with you leeching without contributing, who will seed?
Can one not seed while stream? Like keeping cache after you have seen that part and seed that part?
(I have little knowledge on new torrent stuff since I found a net that can be used)
Dunno. If the client does it.
I know there are ways thr request a specific section of a torrent to essentially stream it and once you are done keep it in seed.
how so?
