itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Flohmarkt - a Fediverse replacement for Facebook MarketplaceEnglish1·8 months agoYou’re in a thread complaining about a software using a German name for it’s German meaning (Flohmarkt means flea market). Your example for a ‘good German name’ is an English word that has German origins. Don’t you see how those are different?

That’s like saying iceberg is German. u and ü are different letters. They are pronounced differently and change the meaning of words (e.g. ‘Schuppe’ means scale, ‘Schüppe’ means shovel)

Generally, no. Some private trackers will give you trouble for it, but it’s not a terrible thing to do. It just means there are less sources of those files for other peers. This could lead to someone not getting the full download and being stuck at 99%, if you’re the only seeder online. For popular torrents, no harm done at all
