I believe so. From my experience, using it with TOR proxy made it somewhat unreliable.

I think TOR would be more suitable than a VPN

It’s alright! I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Also, new developers stepped up to maintain vimusic.

Check out Cloudstream. It requires extensions to function and some of them include torrent providers.

That’s what I used to do before opting for online streaming.

Some minor gripes is that these files seemingly dont come with metadata, and you cant download a whole playlist or album at a time, both being huge bummers :/

I’m pretty sure yt-dlp can do this. Why not try Seal on F-droid.

Tested it out of curiosity. Restoring a vimusic backup crashes the app.

Yes, it is archived.

Seems like this is the closest project to be still functioning. Thank you.

I have a friend who uses it religiously, and I found out they would sometimes sneak pictures of people around them, including me. Totally uncool behavior!
