🌧 BitTorrent client and library in Go (by cenkalti)

Glow is an easy-to-use distributed computation system written in Go, similar to Hadoop Map Reduce, Spark, Flink, Storm, etc. I am also working on another similar pure Go system, https://github.com/chrislusf/gleam , which is more flexible and more performant. (by chrislusf)

Why can’t I play Ultra HD Blu-ray movies on my new Intel CPU platform?

I use put.io. It downloads and seeds, converts, streams, finds subtitles, allows for you to download the file if you want.

Put.io: Cheap per-day plan, plus other options. Worth it for storage and instant media access.
Hope this is allowed: Lifetime Plex Pass is on sale until Dec. 31, 2021. I think this is relevant to a lot of us, this isn't sponsored or anything

I could understand it, if it came with some kind of cloud space, where I could put my stuff, and whatch it from there (like put.io does), put my local stuff? LOL.

Thanks. Those are just for managing a the torrent client though. What about being able to selectively download files from a shared seed box over HTTPS? I want to be able to pick and choose the things I download, so rsync/rclone aren't that suitable. I use aria2 with put.io's web interface at the moment and it works really well.
Unable to link DetailsView to custom BottomSheet

I'm fairly new to Swift, i'm looking for some help. I'm building a movie application which fetches content from an API and eventually stream movies via put.io. I'm facing an issue with displaying each movie view when tapped into a custom sheet BottomSheet.

r/nanocurrency is where most of us Nano enthusiasts hang out, so feel free to join there and ask any questions, or you can DM/reply to me personally. If you want to see what Nano payments look like on a website, put.io has the accept-nano gateway implemented, while there are many other websites with Nano payments integrated listed here.
Download same quality before previous download completed

I don't believe it is put.io causing my issues. If I did not process the files, and had them sent straight back to the download folder configured in the Black Hole, it would be approx. 5-10mins, and another release of the same quality would not be downloaded.
Setting up with rClone and Plex

I am trying to mount put.io using rClone on Windows 10.
PayPal payment option ?
1 project | /r/putdotio | 28 Aug 2021

Unfortunately not. Since put.io is a Turkish company it was affected by PayPal seizing all operations in Turkey in 2016.
