No first-party client.","chaining":"The last wrapper before the bytes: an index site posts a DriveSeed link, the downloader lands on a Google-hosted file, and the link survives re-uploads because the operator keeps backup Drives.

The phrase 'to great extent' is the operator admitting the fix is partial.","binding":"per-ip-shaping","binding_note":"A client pulling 1 TiB a month through DriveSeed pulls it from Google, and Google's per-file and per-session shaping is what stops the transfer.

The 'unlimited' claim is the vendor's, unmeasured: no download was pulled and no quota was seen to fail.
