I used IPFS several years ago to get some rather large files from a friend, who had recently been interested in IPFS. From what I recall it took a full week or so to start actually transferring the files. It was so slow and finicky to connect. Bittorrent is dramatically easier to use, faster, and more reliable. It was hard to take IPFS seriously after that. I also recall an IRC bot that was supposed to post links to memes at IPFS links and they were all dead, even though it's supposed to be more resilient. I don't have the backstory on that one to know how/why the links didn't work. |
