Wouldn’t it still be pretty slow and unreliable? I have to wonder why it hasn’t been done yet after Nostr has existed for several years.

It wouldn't be. Torrents can be faster than centralized platforms, whole serving better quality. I watch torrents while they're downloading all the time, never feel slowdowns, and usually they're done downloading before I'm even 1/3rd of the way through watching the content
Would torrents be seeded in relays? Content stored on blossom servers? I’m fuzzy on the technical details.
Franzap and Kieran have both demoed splitting up files over different blossom servers.
Don't really know what the next hurdle is.
DTAN-Relay running on a seedbox, yes
Don’t know what that means. Sounds cool, let’s see it actually working.

It's a nostr relay for torrents
