Hello everyone,

I recently came across an article on TorrentFreak about the BitTorrent protocol and found myself wondering if it has remained relevant in today’s digital landscape. Given the rapid advancements in technology, I was curious to know if BitTorrent has been surpassed by a more efficient protocol, or if it continues to hold its ground (like I2P?).

Thank you for your insights!

    Yeah but nobody uses v2. It’s a neat idea but private trackers don’t like it and uploaders who want internet credit don’t like it either.

      because everything is still on v1 and they don’t have a reason to switch to v2 but they could if they used hybrid torrents.
