    All sites that viewed an existing site contain a copy of it and share the data. There is a "thundering herd" problem of multiple requesters for the site initially being distributed…

    ZeroNet doesn't use bittorrent for file transfers. The bittorrent network is only used for the DHT to map site addresses to IP addresses (or TOR hidden service names). File transfe…

    Have you left the ipfs daemon running? Do any errors show in it? Does this show any connections: ipfs swarm peers
