  • Edit: I stand somewhat corrected, according to what I can find after diving into the slsk rabbit hole a bit, it basically is like torrenting, except each “request” only goes to a single client instead of the swarm, so while the below comment still applies to the speed of making a connection, the downloader won’t have gotten it from somewhere else as they’ll have been waiting for you.

    It is required to initiate a connection from the downloading side though. If your port is closed the only way a connection can be established is by periodic polling by your client… And unless the content you have is really niche, by the time you reach out the downloader probably will have gotten it from someone that was available.












  • The launcher is just an app, but the way it’s set up ensures that different launcher apps cannot offer the same experience as the stock one.

    Rabbit hole I dove into trying to figure out why my back to homepage didn’t feel snappy (like the swipe up animation goes and only after it’s done the icons load). Turns out that’s pretty much intentional and the solution is rooting your phone.
