IPFS is a network that solves your coordination problem, compared to torrents it allows you to decide which chunks you want to store and it will even de-duplicate automatically across different "torrents" that happen to include the exact same byte-identical file.
- pshirshov 2y agoThough with its persistent brainsplits it's barely usable, unfortunately.
- j_maffe 2y agoCould you elaborate? IPFS is already being used quite successfully by LibGen and Z-lib AFAIK.
- pshirshov 2y agoWell, it might take literally months for a file to become available/resolvable everywhere. Also if a host can resolve a file now doesn't matter it would be in ten minutes (the publisher is always running of course).
- pradn 2y agoI like IPFS, and want it to continue improving, but it is just too slow, uses too many resources, and is often unreliable. https://annas-archive.org/blog/putting-5,998,794-books-on-ipfs.html https://annas-archive.org/blog/putting-5,998,794-books-on-ip...
