I'm still not sure the question makes much sense, if it's a general: "I want to support the project and so I want to seed a large chunk" Okay, I guess it's your due diligence to check, but there is a reporting feature built in, if something is found, report it.

Aside from that, if you're searching for specific content, the question is moot I guess.

I guess my confusion is what distinguishes this apart from any other torrent ? That is, if the submitted content is submitted at all.

I understood it as he or she wants to download large chunks of potentially interesting books for offline use, or once Anna goes down. So a broad filter. Not for seeding.

But thanks for the explanation that there is a report build in.
