Did torrents become extinct? Or even something like ipfs?
You can find torrents here if you're willing to seed 181TB for the full dataset, or 43TB for just zlibrary https://annas-archive.org/torrents
Jesus, how is it even possible to have 181TB on a single computer?
8 20TB drives in a Z2 array
Lots of drives 😜 It's not so unimaginable on servers but less so on personal computers.
Torrents aren't a great option for a niche thing that doesn't have a wide audience.
Torrents suck for things that aren't all that popular. Once the last seeder stops seeding, that torrent is useless.
I once left a torrent on for ~three years at 50%, obviously no one seeded that anymore. one day i realised it was completed, and i have no idea when. now i only streamed my high sea amusements, i don't even have a torrent client on anymore, but i like to think that the three copies seeded from mine (based on uploaded data) is still out there somewhere.
torrents can definitely die. no seeders = no life.
