maybe not the best name consider a RAT has an alternate meaning when it comes to software, (especially illicit software) though besides that I can’t see anything wrong with it.
Seems so. It looks like a DHT crawler with additional protocols for exchanging magnets with other identical clients, bypassing the need to crawl for it.
Personally I run magnetico which works well (I don’t need an integrated client) but given how DHT crawling hits your local network I’d say the P2P sharing of magnets is a good idea, at worst it’s net neutral. Depending on how regulated the protocol is though, it’s quite possible that it can be abused in order to boost infected torrents.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Is this like a local DHT crawler? The project page is a bit vague on that front, and the architecture diagram is… not very helpful.

If this had some sort of option to bind it to a network interface I’d be able to use it with my vpn. This does seem promising though.
Yeah I was wondering the same, like does it connect to i2p or something?
