Sorry I'm a bit late
I would 100% end up like that guy from the Twilight Zone episode, who gets some time to himself & immediately breaks his glasses.
Now if only I didn't have to go 5 miles outside town, to reach a store that still stocks desirable inventory. When I realize that almost nothing is stored in town where the majority of sales would otherwise occur, I feel like our cities are just kinda doomed?
Which describes torrent apps 15 years ago. I'm really not sure what people think is missing?
Search engine functionality goes in the sharing\communication app.
DHTs in the '90s already had search & tagging & even some rudimentary social networking, built in.
Networks like Tribler's don't really need a lot more features, so much as just raw usage; most people torrenting are still using the mainline DHT, which doesn't have a search layer.
That's largely on those users. Advanced DHT search with rich social features, already exists for those who decide to use it.
THIS is a good suggestion; I'm not aware of any decentralized search that also specifically helps find subtitles.
Apps being able to search opensubtitles.org\com via the API, are a great convenience, but I'm not aware of any comparably convenient way to submit subtitles. Currently, it's a bit of a pain, just to try & help. (For instance, .srt files with perfectly standard formatting, rejected for no discernable reason whatsover, requiring upload in .ass format instead.)
+1 to those who said DHT.
There's no tagging support, but I'm not sure why I'd need tagging.
DHT crawling reveals pretty much every active public torrent, & finding what I want is just a matter of including it in the search terms.
"s04e10 2160p x265" brings up every torrent containing a file with s04e10, 2160p, & x265 in its filename.
I could foresee plenty of situations where tagging for quality, & for metadata beyond filenames & sizes, would be useful; I just haven't actually had it come up.
Everything I need shows up on DHT search.
Well, except .STL files, but that seems to be because they're given away for free so often there's no impetus to make torrents of them?
DHT crawlers find pretty much all the active torrents. No shortage of 4K content; as @burgersc12@sh.itjust.works said, just add 2160p to the search terms.
No trackers needed. (Omit the tracker URLs when loading magnet links too; they're not at all necessary.)
Hodor?
