It periodically re checks the torrents you have indexed. It also has some basic availability tracking Like how many people are seeding and leaching. I think there's also a threshold you can set for how long you keep stale data before giving up on it.

Hmmm. I wonder how much network noise that makes? Like how many devices will see my IP address or is that all protected by tor?
I have a VPN on the edge of my network, so I'm not really too worried about that. But it's definitely not protected by Tor.
Same but I use the same VPN for many things and background services all use the same VPN so you can hide your physical location but not your activity.
I guess technically there's nothing illegal about doing indexing, but some overzealous and rudimentary anti-piracy tools might flag you. /shrug
It's been running for less than 24 hours. So we'll see if anything bad comes from it. And I'm probably going to take some time tonight to tune my classifier and fiddle with settings so I can try indexing less porn.
I'm at about 210,000 indexed torrents and 24,000 of the classified torrents I have are porn. I would like to cut that number down.
True but I like to live by "Give me six lines written by the most honest of men, and I will find something in them to hang him." If they can't find six lines I'm safer.
I'd be more worried about the copyright material than the porn (CP aside of course) if you are in the US XD. They like to kick doors in for that too now days.
Yeah, I'm definitely more concerned about copyright stuff rather than porn besides the obvious problems there. 😅. We'll see if I get any DMCA pings here in the next few days. I would assume they would have already pinged me, because they seem to be pretty damn fast about that stuff. (i.e. somebody came over to my house, connected to my guest network, and was seeding a copy of Shrek a few years ago, and that was the only DMCA ping I've gotten in close to a decade. And it happened within a couple hours of them connecting to my Wi-Fi.)
Wow no kidding. I only ever got a notice quite a few years ago. Forgot the VPN to my mom's place was connected... She sent me an email about a week later XD
