Ok, I have to ask, what is an actual difference between torrents and ipfs? I don't care for technical details, I mean the business logic, so to speak.

- Both use DHTs to search for sources of fingerprinted content. - Both use nodes (seeds in BT terminology) that actuallu store the content. - Both don't have an "archive" system, and so if at least one node doesn't have the file, it may as well not exist at all. - Both can have content censored by going after the node operators.

Am I getting any of these wrong?
