I'll just point to the millions of torrent files today that will remain unseeded forever. Durability with P2P only works as a complement to centralization.


I think streaming is killing torrents and the fact that you need a VPN in many countries to avoid getting fined


I agree with this, I haven't torrented anything in a very long time as most of things I want are streamable somewhere (and I don't care about file ownership), or set up for direct download on some forum somewhere.


There are other problems. I personally encountered this issue with Netflix: https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/community-netflix-and-hulu-remo...


torrents needs to be available over a browser interface to hide in the usual https traffic


See WebTorrent for this
