Yes, I did start the download.

While testing, I sometimes forgot to connect the laptop to a different network, so my server seeded via the internal network and I could see my laptop's internal IP address in the peer list.

How do web seeds actually work? I actually expect, that the Torrent client will automatically download files from the web server, if there are no "suitable" seeders.

OK, thanks!

Interesting, I thought it would. Just like a written hard drives weights more, than an empty one:

I don’t think that calculation is entirely correct. Hard disks use error-correction schemes and codes to prevent long sequences of identical bits, so writing logical zero bits doesn’t imply writing “magnetic zeroes” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_coded_recording, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_frequency_modulation).

DRAM = tiny capacitors, so keeping more of them discharged would mean needing less leakage and thus less energy to top them up, though, so some gains could be made there.
