- callesgg 6y agoThe infohashes are there but there are No seeders on the torrents.
- efjsejkrtwejktw 6y agoWorks fine for me? There are certainly some seedless torrents still indexed, but TPB has a lot of good torrents, and is my goto for Jeopardy (among other things).
- zelly 6y agoDownloading content like the most recent Jeopardy is where torrents shine. Also recent blockbuster movies and AAA games. Torrents can be faster than a CDN in these cases, because they are popular content. Try to download Jeopardy from Feb 29, 2014, good luck if anyone's seeding that. But I'm sure NBC's paid streaming service has that episode if you want it.
- zelly 6y agoYes, the website and its database are resilient. Torrents are less likely to be struck down by a singular authority like YouTube but on the other hand it suffers from the same problem as personal websites. Almost every torrent posted to tpb over the years, if you tried to download now, would have zero seeders. It's the same thing with IPFS. None of these P2P solutions will ever be like S3.
- LockAndLol 6y agoI have a feeling that once IPFS and torrents become more popular on anonymous networks like I2P, the copyright mafia will have a real problem trying to shut that down. Right now the speeds are pretty bad (20 KB/s average 100KB/s for "fast" torrents), but with more users, that can drastically change. If 400KB/s becomes the average, watching 720p on a peertube instance on I2P will be possible without lag. At 800KB/s 1080p becomes possible without lag. https://stream.twitch.tv/encoding/ https://stream.twitch.tv/encoding/
