Can you recommend some tools to manage mutable torrents? I.e. create them, edit them, download them and keep them downloaded up to date.
BTW I recently tried using IPFS for a mutable public storage bucket and that didn't go well - downloads were very slow compared to torrents, and IPNS update propagation took ages. Perhaps torrents will do the job.
- Apocryphon 2y agoMan, looks like the first posts about IPFS cropped up on HN a decade ago. I remember seeing Neocities announcement of support for them. I wonder if that protocol has gotten anywhere since then.
- jazzyjackson 2y agoThere has been a large effort extended by Internet archive to adopt IPFS through their partnership with filecoin but IME the basic problems of the protocol remain - slow egress, slow discovery, someone still has to serve the file over a gateway to normie HTTP users...
- nikisweeting 2y agoMy plan is to use a separate control plane for the discovery/announcements of changes, and torrents just for the data transfer. The specifics are still being actively discussed, and it's a few releases away anyway.
