When bittorrent was released, I saw the technological aspects as groundbreaking, thinking it would be repurposed for much more than ISO downloads and mass media distribution. How did the technology not become a more popular way of distributing via crowdsourcing large community datasets, such as openstreetmaps, or something like distribution of Android rom updates, when the costs of distribution are so expensive?


Thanks and yes I’m comfortable with English as my first language. I was trying to post my comment with respect for OP. A QWERTY keyboard has the U and I together, my phone keyboard sucks for sure.
Totally off topic, but I read a classic author’s murder mystery as a kid, Doyle or Agatha or whoever, and a clue was a mistyped B for N, because they’re together on the keyboard. For 40 years I’ve been noting such errors. “Ah! OP meant to type ‘U’.” :)
