## **Won't this kill swarm health?**
|
|
Depends. On average no. The app is always seeding 1 torrent as long as it's open. Additionally the upload speed is forced to be x1.5 that of the download speed. Those 2 things combined will already make this app seed more than the average leecher which removes the torrent the moment it's downloaded.
|
|
|
|
## **Can I close the miniplayer?**
|
|
No. See above. The miniplayer provides feedback that something is happening in the background. Closing it would make the user feel like the app is lagging [because it's maxing out your internet in the background by torrenting] when nothing is happening.
|
|
|
|
## **Can I reduce the upload speed?**
|
|
No. See above. This app is also meant to seed the torrents the user downloads, if you want freeleech go to some private tracker.
|
|
|
|
## **Is this safe?**
|
|
I recommend you read the [guide about basics of piracy.](https://thewiki.moe/guides/torrenting)
|
|
|
|
## **Will this replace streaming sites?**
|
|
Not really. The underlying source of video are still torrents, which aren't always seeded, so anime that's a few years old might not play back smoothly.
|
|
|
|
## **Can I log in with MAL?**
|
|
No. You can however migrate MAL to AL, see [this guide.](https://anilist.co/forum/thread/3393)
|
|
|
|
## **Why is anime X not playing?**
|
|
One of four reasons:
|
|
- the anime isn't seeded
|
|
- your download speed isn't fast enough
|
|
- your ISP blocks Nyaa, see [this tutorial](https://thewiki.moe/en/tutorials/unblock) for a fix
|
|
- the app couldn't find a matching torrent for the anime
|
|
- you can POTENTIALLY fix this by disabling `Trusted Only` in `RSS Settings`, but this might cause false-positives when finding torrents, so I'd also disable `Auto-play torrents`, and pick torrents manually.
|
|
|
|
## **Will you make an android version?**
|
|
No. This app cannot be ported to android in any way.
|
|
|
|
## **Can I play my own torrents?**
|
|
Yes. For the home menu you can specify a different RSS feed to check when the app looks for new releases. Additionally you can just paste a torrent file/magnet link anywhere when using the app, and it will auto-detect what anime is playing.
|
|
|
|
## **Can I change what tracker torrents are found from?**
|
|
Not really. No other tracker has the kind of API/search functionality that Nyaa does, which the app uses to the fullest extent to make sure it finds the torrents it's looking for without false-positives.
|
|
|
|
## **How is this different from sequential qBit?**
|
|
Unlike qBit's sequential, this will prioritise downloading torrent pieces directly needed for playback, which with the user seeking isn't always just sequential.
|
|
|
|
## **Why Electron?**
|
|
Electron has node.js integration, which can use TCP/UDP, that is the only reason. Browsers can't access TCP/UDP which means they can't access the global BT swarm.
|
|
> Can't you make this just use WebRTC?
|
|
|
|
Yes. A BitTorrent implementation which uses WebRTC exists, but it's not yet adopted by any clients, and libtorrent [the library which qBit and others use] is still working/just added support for WebRTC, which means there's no swarm. This will hopefully change in the future.

|
## **Miru crashed too many times.**
|
|
This is likely because Miru updated from a very old version to a very new one. Uninstall Miru, go to `%appdata%/miru` remove all files and re-install it. If this issue persists visit the Discord for help.
