    Yeah it’s basically limewire but still alive and actually good lol.

    Understandable, super easy to set up fwiw, just install nicotine, create your acct, create a share folder with a download folder inside it, tell the program where those are on your pc, and the “hard” part (which you said “server,” so you’ll be fine) forward a port and tell nicotine what it is in the settings. Bang, done, download away.

      Should work fine through a VPN as long as everything is forwarded right ya?

      Also appreciate the in depth explanation/help! I’m already like 3000% more active on Lemmy than I ever was in 10 years of reddit lol
