Yeah.. IPFS is a bit disappointement. I was a bit exceited about it back in the day. Recently, I wanted to download sth large from archive.org, I used torrent (and my legacy torrent client) and it worked like a charm!
It seems pure HTTP tracker + Torrent is good enough.
- boramalper 3mo agoI think the biggest sin of IPFS is not working natively in web browsers—instead, requiring the use of either HTTP gateways or native apps running outside the browser.
- dannyobrien 3mo agoActually, this works now! https://inbrowser.link/ https://inbrowser.link/ https://github.com/ipfs/service-worker-gateway https://github.com/ipfs/service-worker-gateway -- getting p2p working in browsers is still surprisingly hard: even the official routes like webrtc have lots of hard edge cases.
