I’d like to see some performance testing in clients for time-to-load images as examples. A direct host/source is going to be faster I imagine.

I suspect torrents may be too slow for normal use and may need to be the fallback - and clients are incentivised to make it fast for best UX. Unsure how this impacts the economics of it.

A benefit from torrents however is when something is older or less cached/recent, you have a common addressable was to query across a peer network for who has this. That’s where I think it adds the most value.
