Yes, this seems to have been replaced mostly by bittorrent.
On the other hand, HTTP has the advantage that it works through corporate proxies and that is usually not blocked by over-cautious admins.
- awirth 9y agoI'll note that bittorrent uses HTTP for a few different things: - HTTP(s) based trackers (although UDP is more common these days) - HTTP webseeds/mirrors (BEP-17) - (if you count it) webtorrent uses Websocket trackers and can support HTTP webseeds (although really of course the P2P is WebRTC)
