@Moon @shibao @zaitcev yup its basically dht-only torrents. libp2p is heavily based on bittorrent, but the protocol is tweaked slightly for better cryptoshit since there is never a tracker unlike bt.

files are split in to fixed size chunks, clients go poke around the distributed hash tables to find who has those chunks and requests them. they get stuck in caches by whoever downloads them until the cache decides to purge it. you can "pin" content to prevent it. (they don't call them seeders.)
