That sounds like a very strange model comparing to how empowering and decentralized real torrenting is.
There even us btfs which allows to mount filesystems over bittorrent and access on demand.
And I am sure that bittorrent over Javascript on a Website would be possible.
Like Snowflake runs as a browser extension and people connect over WebRTC
It's for noobs who can't torrent
I mean it is likely also safer as it is encrypted?
Using a VPN service and installing qBittorrent is pretty easy though
If there's one thing I've learned working in IT, it's to not underestimate people's inability to grasp even to most simple of technical tasks.
That is certainly true
