     @shibao @Moon @zaitcev that's pretty much what ipfs is.

     @shibao @Moon I think you may be right, although I don't understand in detail how IPFS works. Someone, somewhere, has to keep the object or all of its segments.

     @zaitcev@shitposter.club @Moon@shitposter.club i think the easiest way is that it's a giant magnet link where you can choose to download the certain files in the torrent that you want
     gross oversimplification/kinda wrong but that's basically 90% of the way there

     @Moon Old videos.
     
     Remember that torrents are very much a here and now kind of source. They only exist as long as someone seeds. And that can fail. For example, I'm seeding Ginban Caleidoscope but there aren't any trackers for it anymore. BoxTorrents nee BakaBT keeps the last one, but they blacklist my client due to incorrect regex. Many such cases.
     
     So, here's a bunch of videos that I youtube-dl-ed:
     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6bKbqSdNEc Nothing Goulds aren't doing today by very educational still, and has a historic interest.
     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ufes_zrZmg Did you know that Gun Jesus is not only a taking pothead, but actually a qualified gunsmith?
     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAEM9knVZgY For ladies in your life.
     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI7BCToQhRc Bannerman Mosin is safe.
     
     There's a bunch more than are no longer available.

     @zaitcev@shitposter.club @Moon@shitposter.club have you checked out ipfs? sounds like a good use case for something like this

     @icedquinn @shibao @zaitcev chubks are variable and there are different hashes so yhou can have incompatible ipfs pins of the same file

     @Moon @shibao @zaitcev yup its basically dht-only torrents. libp2p is heavily based on bittorrent, but the protocol is tweaked slightly for better cryptoshit since there is never a tracker unlike bt.
     
     files are split in to fixed size chunks, clients go poke around the distributed hash tables to find who has those chunks and requests them. they get stuck in caches by whoever downloads them until the cache decides to purge it. you can "pin" content to prevent it. (they don't call them seeders.)
