Heh, you got me :) IPFS is one of those things that I love reading and about and thinking about using someday, but somehow never get around to it.

		The problems begin with taking 5-10 minutes to locate a file on the network. That's right, when you ask for a file it takes 5-10 minutes. Also if the file isn't in the network at all then it never terminates. Nobody noticed because everyone just used the central web gateway that cached every file anyone ever accessed.
