Ok im totally new here because i arrived searching what means to have a miner id on a downloading site:
it is safe it takes all ur internet speed?
google is very poor information about this
the only related information was bitcoin mining guess its similar stuff?


Download faster by mining download traffic.
You receive 1024 bytes per share.
With mined traffic you can download at full speed.

Mining uses your cpu power to solve mathematical problems

You need to choose a miner id and remember it.

Be careful with the amount of threads. Set it too high and your computer could freeze.


again im new so forgive me for just making a topic(this forum is huge+rich stuff to read)

This seems like some website is trying to limit your download speed, unless you mine ( Monero ) for them, which seems a bit ridiculous to me.

They basically use your hardware, in exchange for a "higher" / non-limited download speed. The script they used was probably -> https://coinhive.com/

May i ask you what site you were trying to download something from? Piratebay?





If you're inclined to know what bitcoin mining is all about, give this a read,

I'm new to cryptos/blockchain and "mining" is still such an abstract term for me. Do you have any documentaries / reads to recommend?
