(And I use “Free” loosely because I do pay for Prime Video, so it went from paid to much more expensive)

    Caching a torrent isn’t leeching. Like the other person said, it actually helps because it prevents multiple people from doing a hit and run. The torrent only needs to get cached once, and then everyone can just directly download that file, bypassing the torrent entirely.

      Caching a torrent requires downloading, no? What guarantee do you have that they’re seeding that leech?

        There is no guarantee, because they’re not seeding. There’s one hit-and-run, then the torrent is cached on a server for anyone to directly download. Again, IMO one hit-and-run is still better than thousands.
