Does it seed torrents

@lalleclausen I did some quick checking, it looks like it was writing the file to my disk as it played (though potentially necessary for streaming, I'm not really sure about that) and when I was watching my computer was slowly upping the file (while obviously quickly downloading the file). If you mean true seeding in the sense of seeding once you have the complete file, it seems unlikely to last for long—it can't keep files very long or the entire premise of the app is ruined. It's almost assuredly going to upload bits of the file the entire time you are watching. FWIW my experience was not great, I have a great connection and the video I watched was dropping key-frames after a few minutes. I assume it'd have been better to just download the file and wait 7 minutes to start my movie.

@willimholte Thanks Will. I ask mainly because of legal reasons, in some European countries they have become very effective at snooping seeding activity including legal consequences. So what exactly do you mean by "my computer was slowly upping the file..."?

@lalleclausen I didn't dig into specific app use but just watched network traffic overall. Before starting a film my computer was Upping/Downloading at .5/.9 kbps, after I started a film it was something like 30/900 kbps. Often when I'm using a bit torrent app it'll be more equal (something like 900/1.5) *edit So I'd say if you're worried about that this app should be avoided.
