BitTorrent is No Longer the ‘King’ of Upstream Internet Traffic
BitTorrent is no longer the 'King' of upstream traffic, marking the end of a period of declining dominance that started two decades ago.

Truthfully BT is about to explode with DHT once bitmagnet implements indexing it will be game over. You can just point it at a folder with your files and every torrent that ever contained that file will be seeded automatically no matter what folder or name it has. Everyone has gig connections now.
BitMagnet isn’t a silver bullet. Its datastore use makes it rather unreliable past about 2M torrents mark.
2M globally, or just per user?
2M per BitMagnet instance. That's about 18Gb in postgres. Not significant, but around where you start to think about query optimization.
I mean IPFS was that solution to me for a while tbh. Even then libp2p like peertube uses and matrix offer some exciting examples into the future.
