I have uploaded files about 3 years ago to ipfs and somehow its still there.



Unfortunately I have to repeat what I just wrote word for word:

"there is no GUARANTEE about file preservation there at all (unless you pay to people hosting your files specifically)"

Sure your files are accidentally still present in the cache. Good for you. The problem is deceiving other people who may think it's somehow spacemagically-interplanetary guaranteed.


No reason to repeat yourself. I was surprised that it was still up. I knew very well they were likely to dissapear. I assumed it would have been gone by now.
