@elomatreb so ... you think it's to have laws against public gatherings of 3 or more people ... -

@budkin thanks for the link. What license is umatrix code under? -

@budkin ... but a download site serves way more files than a normal site, so they have a larger attack surface that increases with time -

@budkin yeah, maybe you're right, and there's no difference between .torrent files and .html files served from the same webserver -

@budkin I suspect if anyone contacted them and offered to build them a #WebTorrent site using only free code, they would jump at the offer -

@budkin @boneidol no fucking way! If I had a spell that gave weeping sores to every webmaster that puts goOgle spyware on their site ... -

@budkin HTTP still isn't that stable, and you still need a download manager for HTTP downloads, there's one bundled with every browser ... -

@budkin ... but a site like Vodo costs almost nothing to run, and the founders make their money through making films, not websites ... -

@budkin I'm not sure if they have a way to donate to the platform itself, or if they take a proportion of the donations given to films ... -

@budkin if you set up a user account, and login, you will see much more than browsing as a random visitor -

@budkin ... although I guess back then HTML pages were tiny (see: motherfuckingwebsite.com), and downloaded files were usually much bigger -

@budkin ... I remember when FTP was for file downloads, not HTTP, and we neede a download manager app to make HTTP downloads work reliably -
Danyl Strype (strypey@quitter.se)'s status on Saturday, 14-Apr-2018 13:19:31 UTC Danyl Strype
@budkin ok, I'll admit I'm on shaky with this argument ;) But ... -

@budkin ... and they have another revenue model (collecting contributions from viewers), so why take the risk? They're film-makers, not VCs -
Danyl Strype (strypey@quitter.se)'s status on Saturday, 14-Apr-2018 13:14:59 UTC Danyl Strype
@budkin I agree with the second part, but I don't see why they'd sell user data. They don't collect enough data to be valuable ... -

@budkin sure, you can point a DDOS gun at every single page on a site, but HTTP downloads are particularly vulnerable to disruption -
Danyl Strype (strypey@quitter.se)'s status on Saturday, 14-Apr-2018 13:12:01 UTC Danyl Strype
@budkin true :) In the thread that followed the post you replied to, we talked about how badly the site needs updating (magnet links!) -

@budkin if you really don't want to give them your real email address you can always give them a burner from a site like guerrillamail.com
