Why isn't OnionShare more popular among pirating communities?
I was just browsing some torrents lately and anything that isn't on a torrent is on a website like rapidgator. Rapidgator is ok if you downloading audiobooks, but why aren't more people using OnionShare to send and receive files? I haven't used it and I don't know it's limitations, but if I ever wanted a file which was shared over it, I would spring into action and install it.
Cause it's fucking slow and we don't need to waste the limited resources of the Tor Project. There are people who crucially rely on Tor, we don't need Tor in order to pirate content.
For me, I don't want to use their resources, because this service has an cost, and its better used by journalists, activists etc, rather me to download shitty Hollywood movies.
But in warez's context, if you host your tor's relay, and you pay for the bandwith, then an mass sharing have a cost. And you have to include the storage too, its not free.
Thats why my answer,
for me onionshare != rapidshare.
I think it can take the load, but not in an warez context.
Where u share the last wanted big AAA games on an forum, depend the storage and servers behind.
I would no test it ^^
I guess it can be like an DOS for them.
Might not be needed as much for some people either since i2p supports torrents. Once Qbittorrent supports i2p I'd imagine it will take off a bit more especially if they integrate an i2p router into the client.
