The problem with torrents is a lack of expanding/versioning of a torrent
e.g. I'm Joe Rogan and I release all my podcasts into a single torrent, add one each podcast. JoeRoganPodcastArchive.torrent . Each addition should propagate if the torrent client accepts it (i.e. Joe can't sneak in a episode of Oprah as the user would catch that).
Debian_amd64_ISO_Archive.torrent , each release Debian chuck it in there. Up to the user to accept the new addition (likewise download selectively, as can be done already).
By now you should get the drift of what I'm on about. The key is you don't have to get another torrent file to "follow" (what would be) the expanding torrent.
It also serves to propagate new content faster, the change comes to the user rather than the user having to seek it out.
- e3bc54b2 4y agoRSS feeds currently fill this role and honestly I don't feel the need for base torrent protocol to support it. It does its job and it does it well, same as RSS.
- tux2bsd 4y agoYou have a system that works for you but you're confused if you think that is complete enough to be a stand in for what I have described.
- detaro 4y agoAFAIK there are mutable torrents now, although not as widely supported
- helf 4y agoLol why was Joe Rogan your random pick?
- tux2bsd 4y agoWas I supposed to discriminate?
- helf 4y agoYes, clearly. I just was amused that that dipshit of all people was your go to example. That sort of thing in a totally unrelated sort of comment tends to be a huge dogwhistle. But I clearly just want you to “discriminate” against the wealthy middle aged male white asshole. (Disclosure, I’m a middle class middle aged white male asshole)
- tux2bsd 4y agoI hope your soy overdose wears off one day, for the sake of the people that have to put up with you in real life.
