Huge P2P networks for large content distributions will never work, as the internet isn't build for that. Imaging everyone would be driving directly to the farm

Huge P2P networks for large content distributions will never work, as the internet isn't build for that.
Imaging everyone would be driving directly to the farmer to buy egs or milk. The roads would be crowded. A centralized technology is much more effective. (also in terms of energy saved)
PS. Video sites are probably going to integrate this technology soon...
- poppysan 18y agoActually your point works for P2P not a centralized solution. A centralized server is 1 rd vs a P2P highway of a undetermined amount of decentralized servers(roads). I believe that the answer is not a centralized solution or a P2P solution in my opinion. Maybe a hybrid network of well placed server farms that utilize a form of controlled P2P with authorized hosts. This avoids the legal/protection issues, yet extends the power of central solutions.
