> And you can't share pieces across different torrents So make each layer an own torrent?

  That's still not great. Imagine the only difference between two versions of the layer is that you updated a single jar in a 200MB app bundle. The effective difference could be a few tens of blocks, but you still need to redownload the whole thing. If we can manage the assignment/padding to match ipfs fragments, that could result in a massive saving.

    That is a limitation of the Torrent clients. On top of that, most of them should already be able to understand that certain files already exist; but it seems like it’s more of a file-level feature at this point rather than block-level. Is there something I am misunderstanding?
