I like how it's an eye candy.

I guess there's a lot of opaquenets already, and it's not the feature richest, but this one you can have running in under five minutes.

I was actually using it for some torrents but currently ZeroTV is down :(

Last time I used that project I was trying to migrate my wordpress to zeroNet and I failed because my wp-content/images is over 3Gb and ZeroNet website is (was?) limited to 100Mb. Has this changed, are they tools that migrate images to separate addresses and link them correctly in html files?

Shouldn't they combine it with IPFS for static content storage then? Or does IPFS have the same limitation?

Curious about using Tor for anonymity. Tor explicitly asks users not to use it for bittorrent for many reasons. So if I have a ZeroNet site serving a nice big video over bittorrent, does my visitors' using Tor for anonymity go against their best practices?

As soon as you add an anonymity layer you've basically reinvented Freenet

There's no such limitation in IPFS -- currently the largest known dataset is about 3.8 TB, a mirror of https://cdn.media.ccc.de
