I have a simple question. What reasons exist for why torrents shouldn't be embedded with the content when we download something. The client can just copy the torrent we load or create a torrent file from the magnetlink as most clients already do internally. I created a reseeding system about 7 years ago that does this and allows you seed stuff you download long after the content is moved or the operating system is blown away. Why shouldn't I do this? I understand issues with private trackers and content being able to be tracked back the source but other than that, I don't see why is isn't an option. I see questions on forums and reddit every 2 days about reseeding stuff. The solution could be so easy.
