Is this relevant for executables only or also movies, TV series, game ISOs, books, audiobooks, etc?
For watching movies and shows there is nothing simpler than Stremio with the Torrentio addon.
For other files I don’t like the BitTorrent protocol for sharing because it complicates file sharing, requiring files to remain in their original locations without renaming when creating a torrent. I prefer Nicotine+ and Fopnu as they allow me to easily select folders for sharing without any complications. These are the only programs I know of that are compatible with Windows and Linux and are actively developed. They are newbie friendly because searching for files inside the program is straightforward. I’ve also used eMule, Gnutella, DC++, Shareaza, MLDonkey but I don’t recommend them. Although eMule has good availability for old/rare content.
Fopnu seems like the most similar alternative to eMule that is actively maintained. Unlike Soulseek, it can download a file from multiple seeders at the same time. However, the ed2k protocol still has around 100k users compared to barely 500 on Fopnu.
