Hello everyone,
I recently came across an article on TorrentFreak about the BitTorrent protocol and found myself wondering if it has remained relevant in today’s digital landscape. Given the rapid advancements in technology, I was curious to know if BitTorrent has been surpassed by a more efficient protocol, or if it continues to hold its ground (like I2P?).
Thank you for your insights!
Well… it’s not really designed for that use case, so yeah you’ll have to deal with issues like that. For interplanetary file transfers, that’s acceptable.
I’m searching for better alternatives, ideas are welcome.
Probably the closest thing would be an activitypub blog or static site service.
ActivityPub is still using centralized DNS. I’m talking about a decentralized Web. And no, activitypub doesn’t scale as good.
