I understand, I'm a heavy user of P2P for most of what's possible, even have a , but HTTP CDNs exists for a reason, which is "distributed availability" and low latency.

If we add a bitorrent client as a requirement to have reasonable download speed then you're adding one extra step to the whole onboarding experience.

Maybe instead of using a CDNs we can think of using mirrors, but then if the mirror can't withstand the load, you end up in the same situation.

I say not about size but *distributed availability*.

minimizing problems with networks, servers etc, see the topic title.

PS: maybe in 2048 people will have distributed Smalltalk, but not in this
life with the image hell
