Yes, that would be better 👍.
Not really, I'm on Lemmy like... an hour a day probably.
I always sort by new 🤷.
Yeah, I never got the upside-down questionmark as well 😂.
How big is the spike? If it's in hundreds of KB, yeah, chances are it really is downloading something. If it's in bytes, it's probably dead, those are just sync packets most probably.
YTS 🤨?
Is it actually downloading or just saying it's downloading? Like, is the there some trafic downstream?
Depends on where you got the torrent, but those seeders might actually be just wrong reports by the tracker. It has happened to me as well. I've left torrents for months just to see if it will eventually start downloading... nope, just sitting there, idle.
Can't say what the real reason behind this is, but my best guess is some bots are reporting wrong info via DHT and/or the trackers. Why? Have no idea, your guess is as good as mine 🤷.
Ungoogled Chromium then.
Vivaldi. Why? Highly cuztomizable.
Though slower than other chromium based browsers.
We all know they plan on doing something sinister.
