Mullvad: Removing the Support for Forwarded Ports

They’re widely known enough to have their own wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BitTorrent_sit...

One site on that list, for example, TorrentLeech.org has been around for almost 18 years and has hundreds of thousands of active users. In fifteen years I’ve never had an issue.

There are also foreign language trackers that are largely immune like rutracker.org - you just have to make sure to download the English versions

Is TL really the same site it used to be? I have a vague memory of losing my account and the site shutting down 10+ years ago. When they came back, they offered open sign-up now and then. Made me avoid it.

last they had open signups checked it out and i didn't find it to be anything special or give me a reason to move away from IPT (which is from what i understand mid tier?)

so of course i didn't use it enough and was banned for inactivity

Well my account has been active for 15 years. I've never had any period where I can remember that it wasn't working.
