They dont. Do a search of something older than 5 years in btdigg and you will most likely get only dead magnets.

They do on private trackers where there is an incentive usually tied to ratio or seed time. It's not a monetary incentive and it works.

Aaah private trackers! I remember once I pondered to enter one of those "special groups" but bailed when I read that you had to study for some sort of interview that was required to try to join .

Lol no... I dont like interviewing for a new job, why would i agree to get tested for something as stupid as piracy? (Unless... mention me ONE private tracker that doesn't have piracy).

So for 99% of people, my point stands.

IPFS is distributed but not anonymized, so you can send abuse requests to people's ISPs to take content down (like with torrents). The HTTP part is also not censorship-resistant. ipfs.io has a DMCA process, and they could also be asked to reveal the IP of users.

IPFS can be accessed through Tor immediately through a gateway, and with a little work through the ipfs client directly.

Tor+IPFS is much more resistant yes.

IPFS doesn't currently. But there are some in the community working on exactly this using Blake3 and BAO.

The incremental requests are verified if running through your own node as a side effect of loading the data

G'day Why! This is operating through the gateway. So you have to trust the gateway currently. Yes, you can move the gateway to your machine and then the trust requirement doesn't extend over the network.

However with local ipfs, bitswap doesn't support range requests, so you're at least downloading the enclosing blocks which could be 2 MiB for 1 KiB requested data, or 2000X more data than you need.

I remember what.cd had interviews like that. Tried and failed as a kid, that was a pain

There are definitely private trackers that don't have anything like that though (iirc they're called "semi-private trackers"). One i remember using is t411 when it was still running

> SQLite compiled into WebAssembly fetches pages of the database hosted on IPFS through HTTP range requests using sql.js-httpvfs layer, and then evaluates your query in your browser. Please don't do that with the non-static data. This is okay only for archived project, except the moment when my PC downloads SQLite indexes from some blockchain based paifully slow storage for the first time. BTW, how about a user-gover…

IPFS isn't blockchain based. It's slowness is mostly because it is badly implemented.

TIL, thank you!

How do IPFS HTTP mirrors deal with javascript origins? The origin here is always https://ipfs.io/ , right? Or can a http server send a custom origin in the response headers?

Web Browser use cases without native ipfs:// and ipns:// should use subdomain HTTP gateways like localhost in Kubo, or public dweb.link, cf-ipfs.com, which provide Origin per root CID, sandboxing web apps from each other.

See: - https://docs.ipfs.tech/how-to/address-ipfs-on-web/#subdomain... - https://specs.ipfs.tech/http-gateways/subdomain-gateway/
