Why I Would Never Seed a Torrent (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

In the world of file sharing, BitTorrent has long been hailed as the go-to protocol for its efficient initial distribution capabilities. However, when it comes to maintaining availability and ensuring the longevity of shared files, BitTorrent falls short. There are several alternative platforms that make it much easier to share files, allowing the seeder to reorganize the files to their hearts' content without losing the ability to keep seeding to a torrent. Fopnu, eMule, DC++, and Nicotine+ are some of the better alternatives that make sharing a breeze.

You know that Bittorrent was invented to replace these, right?

Soulseek eMule and I think dc++ are younger than the BitTorrent protocol although not by much
