Cause it's fucking slow and we don't need to waste the limited resources of the Tor Project. There are people who crucially rely on Tor, we don't need Tor in order to pirate content.

I already tested it,
It was good enough,
For me, I don't want to use their resources, because this service has an cost, and its better used by journalists, activists etc, rather me to download shitty Hollywood movies.
Speaking just for me ofc. No judging
Tbf Tor needs benign traffic for the important stuff to hide in.
yeah true,
But in warez's context, if you host your tor's relay, and you pay for the bandwith, then an mass sharing have a cost. And you have to include the storage too, its not free.
Thats why my answer,
for me onionshare != rapidshare.
Not the same "business model" at all,
ohh... I think that's fair. It might put on a lot of strain on the system. But yeah, I wonder if it is capable of taking it?
I think it can take the load, but not in an warez context.
Where u share the last wanted big AAA games on an forum, depend the storage and servers behind.
I would no test it ^^ I guess it can be like an DOS for them.
Something like this would seem to make more sense to run over I2P I'd think. But it looks like the devs aren't interested in trying to go that route

Maybe in the future someone will fork the project to work over I2P eventually.
Might not be needed as much for some people either since i2p supports torrents. Once Qbittorrent supports i2p I'd imagine it will take off a bit more especially if they integrate an i2p router into the client.
Probably because of speed. Torrenting over VPN is a lot faster than sharing over Tor.
