Joal-Desktop (Windows / Linux / Mac)

[anon]

very old and not updated for along time

December 2022 wasn't that long ago, and Anthony has stated development work is going towards a complete rewrite (in Go instead of Java).

Anyway, like all modern mods and tools, it's safe as long as used correctly

does TL ban my account if use this app since it doesn't have Memory reader ?

[anon]

JOAL doesn't need a memory reader since (as described in the first post under "How to use it safely") it's not meant to be used simultaneously with a torrent client.

so what you tell me is that even if i use for example "ratiomaster plus" without memeory reader I will be fine?

[anon]

Not sure how you derived that conclusion from my post or why you'd bring up RM+. I suggest doing a little research on what the memory reader is and does first, it's well-documented.

In principle, nothing. JOAL has no way of knowing whether you've already downloaded what you're adding, let alone enforcing that. If tracker staff notice you jumping straight at 100% finished and you don't have plausible deniability (i.e. the torrent isn't something you can find elsewhere in the same exact form), you may get in trouble.

i fall in this record for half. what i mean is i finished the download 100% but my hdd failed and corrupted most of the torrent, if i dont have the complete file they wont count my seeding time (there are no leechers most of the time) and i dont want to get hit n run flag. Is it risky to fake seed time (remaining time is less than 3 days) having only partial file? How does they know how much of data i've downloaded or not? Is it told by my client? If yes then theorically there is not any problem since i have already downloaded it no?

@anthony-joal i've seen on github that change port is not possilble, what port is currently using joel-desktop? Changing qbittorrent port to match it would raise suspitions?

[anon]

Sorry to hear about your HDD failure. Best you can do is add the torrent to JOAL, keep it running for three days, hope no one notices they can't download from you (shouldn't be a problem if there aren't leechers), and remove it as soon as you're allowed.

Pretty sure these have already been asked before

I found an answer to the first question but i didnt see an actual response if it suspicious change port, any hint where to look for the answer?
