The internet needs a better way to share stuff than a fixed list of files. It should be easy to simply browse through a shared folder and decide to participate in storing and hosting that file.
Having to split huge archives like this into multiple torrents is such a terrible workaround. It requires those with huge storage to host the torrents. People who just require a subset can't properly participate.
Such a pity IPFS is so crap. It should be been the solution to this, but alas...
What's crap about IPFS? I've never used it, but have always been intrigued.
It's a resource hog and quite unstable. A major gripe I have with it is that it makes accessing what you downloaded very difficult because the documentation is terrible. It should be possible to mount all your downloaded stuff into a folder, but I have yet to figure out how. And despite all its resource usage, it is very slow.
The idea is amazing (peer-to-peer, content-addressed storage), but the implementation is extremely lacking.
It's got lots of great ideas (combining what's essentially a giant git repo with bit torrent), but in practice it's pretty slow to do anything
The torrent protocol is quite happy for you to only download and seed some files within a torrent, it's just that the most popular client for it isn't very good at managing very large archives.
I'm guessing there's probably an alternative client that is better at this, can anyone tell me what it is? If there isn't one I'll make one, but I don't want to burn a weekend duplicating something that already exists...
"Anna's Archive is a non-profit project with two goals:
Preservation: Backing up all knowledge and culture of humanity.
Access: Making this knowledge and culture available to anyone in the world."
Thanks everyone who contributed this great project.
K now someone make a script that compares your Spotify library to the torrent and downloads all songs please...
Sure but, again, the files are in a relatively low quality.
This oh this, please
That's actually what i am waiting for
Meh, whenever I go through spotify looking for the albums I like, about 40% of them aren't even on there. You're better off not bothering with their shite.
Hope Anna's has a good Onion site setup... Cause they are gonna probably have to rely on that soon enough.
I'm always astonished of how underused it's the dark net for these kind of projects. Most torrent sites doesn't have a dark net mirror despite how easily they get blocked in the clearnet.
I'd like to see more of this as well, I only know of 3 and one of those isn't onion it's i2p.
Because they want people to actually use them.
More people should use the anonymous internet using tools like I2P and Tor. Hopefully that'll be a silver lining with all the governments around the world cracking down on freedom of speech and increasing censorship.
