Bittorrent protocol is decentralized wetransfer right?

• xwvvvvwx 9y ago
  It would not be inaccurate to consider IPFS as an evolution of the Bittorrent protocol.

    Very different protocols!

      From the primary IPFS paper [1], which mentions "torrent" 26 times: "In IPFS, data distribution happens by exchanging blocks with peers using a BitTorrent inspired protocol" [1] https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs/tree/master/papers/ipfs-cap2pfs https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs/tree/master/papers/ipfs-cap2pfs

    I wouldn't disagree with that.

  Not really, with bittorent sender and receiving peers need to be online at the same time.

    It is quite obvious that for any file transfer system to work both sender and receiver have to be online at the same time. One sends the data and the other receives it.
