I mean, I’m not in networking so maybe you’re right and I’m totally out of touch with the basics. Downloads don’t even need to be instant. People scroll and save videos to watch later all the time. Maybe I’m ignorant, but it seems like the technology (torrent networks) already exists and this just requires slapping a pretty interface on top of it.
Honestly, it sounds more like a marketing problem than a networking problem.
Oh yeah, definitely. Spending 30 minutes to download a video over a torrent before you can watch it is tooooootally similar to youtube. Practically indistinguishable!

Thats not a youtube alternative then. Its a torrent hub 🙄
Integrate all into one app, and it’s close enough functionally that it could compete, and that’s all you really need.
