    Thanks. That makes sense. I wonder why torrents couldn’t be somehow adapted for this use case though. They’re way more widespread than IPFS.

      I suppose they could with a protocol revision but then we’d end up with another IPFS. Older torrents would still need to work the old way, so instead of torrents and IPFS, there would be old torrents, new torrents, and IPFS, further fragmenting access to files.

        Ah yeah, good catch. I think I have to learn about IPFS and how to use it :)
