Why use torrent trackers instead of file hosting if Roskomnadzor blocks them anyway?

Question

bittorrent

Using peer-to-peer networks creates many inconveniences compared to regular HTTP(S) and FTP.
True, it is believed that torrents also have a great advantage - they relieve the administration of responsibility for pirated software, but in reality they block anyway, for example, RuTracker even wrote on every page that they do not store copies of the software as such, but this is not helped.

Answer 1

1. It's still familiar.
2. Savings on servers - no need to store petabytes of content.

Answer 2

Using peer-to-peer networks creates many inconveniences compared to regular HTTP(S) and FTP.

On the contrary, convenience. Speed, ease of posting and receiving content, the possibility of resuming. Go ahead, download 40 gigabytes from an exchanger... the only disadvantage of torrents is the complete transparency of all peers, it's easy to track who is downloading and distributing what.

Answer 3

torrent - removes the server load.
and it's all.
responsibility is the 10th matter.
in the West, where they were invented, this does not remove any responsibility.

Answer 4

If the data server is confiscated, then all data on it will be lost. In the case of torrents, the data is stored on users' computers, and you cannot arrest all these users (there are several million users of the rutracker in Russia alone) - this will be worse than Stalin's repressions. Well, the torrent tracker only stores the description of the distributions and the hash sum of the files, all this weighs several gigabytes, or, in extreme cases, a terabyte, it is easy to back up and restore in case the server is lost. Moreover, it is much easier to bury such volumes of data. And also - there is no need to drive traffic between users and the server, it is enough to give hashes, and users will find each other themselves.
