I think it may have been during Covid that I did an online search and from that was told the product had been discontinued. Evidently not the case, as later versions continued to emerge.
IDK about the seeding thing, as I don’t practice that, subscribe to any private torrent trackers, or therefore need to maintain a ratio. Ant DM is kept in the toolbox as just another later resort option, should other downloaders fail. (Sometimes one succeeds, where others don’t.)
Instead, I prefer to rely on third-party, offline, torrent fetch services like Linksnappy, which has been pretty reliable, and is more secure without the need for a VPN, in order not to attract unwanted attention to one’s torrenting. No need to keep a torrent client continuously open either, or expose at least a section of your computer’s HDD. A decent cloud seedbox should achieve the same ends, but that’s an alternate subscription.
