We are currently only approving IPFS submissions as that is the system we are currently testing and is performing the best.

The issue we were having with WebTorrents is that the adoption of the protocol into the most popular torrent clients such as uTorrent has not yet happened so if you are submitting torrent files make sure you are also seeding it with a webrtc compatible torrent client such as WebTorrent-Desktop or Vuze. People are still welcome to submit WebTorrent releases and we will review and add them to the site but right now our focus in on making sure the recent addition of IPFS is fast, reliable and scales well to hundreds/thousands of items. Once we are satisfied that IPFS is performing well then we will be re-enabling approval of webtorrent based items.


At the moment we are only approving IPFS additions but that will soon change. Keep in mind that torrents and IPFS function very much the same in terms of p2p distribution and connections. As such, well so we strongly recommend using a VPN if you are in a country with more strict copyright laws.




I just took a peek and it seems we have over 90 movies approved on the site since the switch to ipfs! Very happy to see so many people adopting the new protocol! As promised earlier in the thread, as we finish doing our ipfs integration tests and looking for possible flaws in the system, we will then be posting a full tutorial on how to set up your own IPFS node!
