  • qBittorrent

    qBittorrent BitTorrent client

    • One of the things that made the bootstrapping click for me was realizing there are in fact servers that DHT clients talk to once to find an entrance to the network. They all have a list (such as https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/blob/c80238d66ff3... )

  • aria2

    aria2 is a lightweight multi-protocol & multi-source, cross platform download utility operated in command-line. It supports HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent and Metalink.

    • It is a client/server system, but pulling from $n hosts instead of just 1, spreading out the load and also downtime risk across all $n hosts. And the reason I mentioned the "ratio currency" is your use of the word "tolerated" here: BitTorrent isn't the mafia, it's just a protocol that offers the ability to share pieces back to the Internet. As another concrete example, aria2c (https://github.com/aria2/aria2#readme) behaves similarly: using BT to download, but then exiting without attempting to seed anything
