Definitely, we could work on implementing it for large files to reduce bandwith costs. P2P is great as long as you have central server. Torrents are also nice

P2P is great as long as you have central server. Torrents are also nice way to implement p2p but fail with zero peers plus there's.
Maybe something like creating a network of self-hosted instances with ability to connect to each other an replicate could be great?
- nashashmi 3y agoA hybrid system is ideal. Lowers server costs all around. I think for lightweight files, p2p alone would suffice. Heavier files would require some sort of server based system. But A hybrid system would be tricky to implement. (The web rtc approach in instant.io maxes out at ram size.)
