While I don’t know if IPFA solves this properly, but I’d like a situation where I can move around and organise my content while it still being available to the torrent client.
If I have an arxiv backup, I can’t re-use the same for a arxiv-backup-torrent easily.
I get that disk space is cheap, but I see the allure of a content addressable system to solve for this.
- wbolster 5y agothis can be solved on the file system layer below. on my laptop with btrfs this requires no special effort: simply copying the files and renaming them suffices. nautilus (gnome file manager) uses copy on write, and coreutils "cp" also defaults to "reflink" these days.
- captn3m0 5y agoDoesn't work for torrents with RAR/ZIP files. The ref-link is also one-way. If I have existing content on my disk, and want to (partially) seed a torrent - can't do that easily. I'd like a way to say: "Everything inside /public is public-domain content, seed it against any valid torrent if someone shows up with a valid hash"
