A sub setting that tracks IPs and impacts a person’s reddit account(s) or use.
Reddit admins haven't said how it works, I'm sure IP address is a factor in the algorithm but calling it a "IP ban" is misleading.
And mods can at the very least flag IPs that get banned
It's a subreddit setting, moderators are not flagging anyone's IP addresses, they don't even have access to that type of info. The best that moderators can do is ban accounts for "ban evasion" or whatever other reason. Then those banned accounts and their post/comment histories likely get sent into that ban evasion algorithm when the sub has the ban evasion setting enabled.
You're talking about a setting that has been enabled sitewide for over a year now
https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/130vnbo/ban_evasion_filter_coming_soon_to_all_communities/
and admins won’t actually follow up with the issue.
Sometimes they do, but yeah you're right usually there won't be much of a review. They do review that stuff on and off but with the sheer amount of actual ban evasion on that site it's unlikely they spend much time on that.
From the linked discussion it looks like there’s a new feature rolling out where mods can activate “automatic ban evasion protection” during a ban
It is just a subreddit setting https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/wrnnvb/piloting_a_new_ban_evasion_tool
It isn't something a subreddit moderator can use to ban OP's specific IP in the subreddit let alone sitewide Reddit. (OP did not say if they are talking about a subreddit specifically, or if they were banned sitewide)
In fact it's just that random person posting a year ago calling it a "IP ban", the Reddit admins never explained how that subreddit setting works. I'm guessing it's using some sort of algorithm to calculate the likelihood of ban evasion e.g repeated post links / new/unused account / maybe the usage of VPN / Tor IP, that sort of thing. Reddit admins do already sitewide auto-ban accounts spamming links that were already reported and banned prior.
Maybe you meant Reddit admins?
Reddit moderators don't have access to IP addresses nor have the ability to ban someone based on an IP address.
When i disable the setting bittorrent -> torrent queuing i get over 20 active torrents that are seeding.
This doesn't answer your main question but maybe just leave it as-is and don't overthink it? I find that torrent clients work best with torrent queuing disabled & letting the torrent client handle everything. Your torrent client is going to do the best it can with the available bandwidth/connections it can use - Definitely feel free to configure those if you want to control that a bit ("Global Maximum Number of Connections" and "Global Rate Limits").
Also remember it's not just dependent on your own limits, each peer connecting to you has their own bandwidth/connection limits.
So, OP is downloading a torrent containing a sequential zip file?
We're in !jellyfin@lemmy.ml so OP is talking about downloading a media file (.mkv, .mp4, etc.). I don't think Jellyfin can play .zip files (?) but could be wrong.
So in the filesystem envision a .mkv movie file that exists but is only say 1% complete so maybe it is currently at 1 MB file size. This is a sequential download so it is downloading in order from beginning to end. Media players like Jellyfin, VLC, etc. can recognize and play this .mkv file, normally it'll stop when it gets to the 1% data end which could be maybe 3 minutes of playback or whatever.
The magic with a sequential download is that it is still downloading, in OP's case the download is going faster than the media playback. So by the time Jellyfin finishes playing that first 1% of the file the torrent client maybe already downloaded an additional 10% so Jellyfin continues playing the file uninterrupted. Meanwhile the torrent client is still going, since the download rate is ahead of Jellyfin's media playback that should mean that Jellyfin will eventually play the entire .mkv movie file uninterrupted from beginning to end.
You can sequentially download .zip files as well, in that case it'll just be this blob of data that starts at the beginning of the file data & goes through to the end. Not sure that is very useful to most people but if the sequential download grabbed the first/end pieces of the file maybe you can at least view the inside file listing of the .zip file before it finishes downloading, could be useful if you just want to preview it before the download completes?
When I’m downloading .part zip files as part of one torrent, how can I go about continuing seeding but not having to have both the archives and the extracted files to save space? Is that even possible?
Normally not possible, you need the untouched torrent data to exist to continue seeding.
No experience with this but I've read that if you're on Linux using a filesystem with FUSE you could sort of keep .zip files intact while still interacting with them, sort of like mounting the .zip files in the live OS. That might be more along the lines of what you're after since you'll be able to keep the .zip files untouched in that sense while still being able to use them elsewhere.
Just leave it loaded in the torrent client.
e.g. if a sequential downloading torrent was downloading into "thisfile.mkv" it starts off at 0% - 99% progress. Eventually when it finishes it'll still be the same "thisfile.mkv" just at 100% complete. Nothing in the torrent client changes, it'll keep the torrent loaded and seeding unless you configure it to stop.
With OP's post they are downloading without moving or renaming the file so nothing changes from a torrenting perspective. Not sure if you meant to ask something else, like if you're moving or renaming the file outside of the torrent client then yeah that would break the seeding.
Do you require that your torrent client download using .part files? Seems like it would be easier to disable that setting in your torrent client so it sequentially downloads into the expected file name and extension. That should be enough for Jellyfin to see it is a .mkv or whatever with the proper name and scan it/play it.
Not sure how exactly this survey was conducted, here at the small business I work at only about 2% of the desktops/laptops are Win 11 compatible. And being a small business the owner isn't interested in spending the $$ on new systems until absolutely necessary.
But that's on the small business side, maybe this article is only talking about fortune 500 companies? Their results seem a bit odd to me otherwise.
Same here, mobile check deposit and Zelle are literally the only things I've ever needed a bank app for.
I used to never use Zelle for anything but too many friends/family want to use some sort of app for exchanging money & that's usually what we settle on. And my old landlord wanted rent paid via Zelle so that was another thing that forced me to install a bank app for Zelle purposes.
Mobile check deposit is a requirement when dealing with a bank without any locations nearby. In practice I only need to use that once a year or so, checks are kind of rare nowadays unless you're a business owner with clients/customers paying with checks.
