Why aren't we able to text chat with our torrent peers?
I wanna ask them like 'hey how's it going'

You used to be able to 20+ years ago on th GNUtella network. Good times. I would chat with people all over the world sharing Happy Hardcore.

Not really related, but a few torrent clients would let you "stream" while downloading a movie.

most of them can, all it requires is downloading the data blocks in order which should be a setting somewhere.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a service out there with a streaming movie + chat. Like twitch or in some discord somewhere. I am sure places like that don't last long though, especially when some anti-social faggot finds out about it.

I would assume it would be nothing but people asking why others are throttling their upload speed or whining. It's a neat idea, but a lot of people torrenting are older and probably don't want to talk with strangers beeping them over common torrent interests.

Considering other P2P networks have/had a built-in chat, it's odd no torrent client added such a feature, even if it is not standard and would work only with peers using the same client.

they do not want to talk to you
they are only interested in you as a conveyor of bits
