Yeah, but there are so many reasons not to torrent. Cable upload speeds still suck because of a combo of technical limitations and very slow investment in new equipment, and not enough people have fiber yet.
Worse, many are getting deeper into the CG NAT on IPv4 with possibly no ipv6 available. Combined with households having more people and devices needing the internet from the same router than ever before, makes it less likely someone is just going to figure out how to forward a port.
Sure, there are some workarounds, but the real failure here is in not moving to ipv6 and fiber fast enough to support any p2p tech. There’s basically zero generations that ever had p2p ready internet.
