I would like to add that IPFS pretty much doesn't run on spinning rust or slow CPUs. A PI or other low end box can easily run torrents with an external harddrive. IPFS can't download large files at a reasonable speed on slow hardware.

Isn't IPFS pretty much the same tech as torrents with magnet links? I'm not sure there's any benefit.

I think the challenge with torrents is maintaining communities of seeders without getting taken down, but I don't think IPFS really helps with that.

Are they interoperable with torrents yet?

Because torrents work, so they don't need to switch to IPFS.
