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")
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.
i still don't understand how logging in to Miru with Appimage works, i authorized it and Anilist lists Miru in the Apps section but it's still not logging me to Miru
Try logging into anilist in a browser that has been installed as a native package. Then temporarily set it as the default browser and open Miru then try 'login with anilist' .
okay i figured it out, you have to create a .desktop file for miru in .local/share/applications and it must contain this line:
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/miru;
you can use Gear Lever which adds Appimages to the applications menu and creates the .dekstop file automatically for you so you don't have to do everything manually even the line above, it also has an update mechanism too
it's preferable to Temporarily use Brave or a chromium browser as the default for it work properly if Firefox is your default
