Limewire died because it was centralized. P2P bittorrent can never be shut down because you would have to control the entire protocol.

It's called DMCA. KAT and all other trackers follow DMCA except for TPB.

Also, private trackers are centralized.

I really don't think it's possible. Torrenting is just too god damn convenient. You can download sequentially (streaming) or randomly (most efficient), your progress is saved even in case of a power failure, everyone is an uploader when active so no single point of failure.

Big businesses should be using it more. Can you imagine downloading battlefield 4 at 1Gbps+ if EA had a 1Gbps seedbox seeding the game?

Probably something akin to direct downloads. At least in the front end for the average user.

It's pretty much the only thing that has a chance of being convenient enough to replace torrents.

There is one with a custom liquid cooling solution, so it would throttle less hard, also the back panel is designed to accomodate reference coolers

Doubt it, while it's true limewire isn't popular NOW, there are other peograms, DC for example.
But the real reason for these programs becoming obsolete, is the CP propaganda.

Torrenting will never be obsoleted like limewire.

The only thing that would replace it is something better, faster and easier to index.

What I could see replacing bittorrent is something that is a peer to peer in the nature of sharing the files. Everyone is a node containing part of all the torrents in circulation. Torrents use a cryptographic identifier to indicate who the uploader is. (ie some ripping team could sign their stuff with their public key so you knew it was from them.) Ideally part of the torrent file would contain meta data that could be used to search against.

It would solve all the problems that torrent sites currently have with DCMA takedowns, high bandwidth costs, etc and spread that cost to everyone. It would eliminate private trackers and all the problems that go with them (if they shut down all the files go into oblivion along with all the meta data the site provides)

The most someone could do to shutdown bittorrent is take down all the major sites providing torrent file but new ones would pop up hours later. Only way I could see bittorrent dying is if private trackers take over, become even more exclusive and the quality of files on public trackers tanks to the point where no one bothers anymore.

It's kinda like that now, unless you're looking for a brand new movie finding a 720p or higher version of a older film is next to impossible. Like I tried to find a non shitty rip of 'a night at the roxbury' on public trackers and only found SD versions or really tiny files that claimed 720 or 1080. It's not even a obscure movie. All the folks who used to seed for the sake of seeding and helping anons out left for exclusive private trackers where they can feel important.

Don't know much about Limewire, someone please inform me.
>>
>>55250195

Limewire is one of DOZENS of p2p file sharers. Share, PD might be more popular than it currently. Hell, DC/DC++ variants are still kicking in some forms. And you're only scratching the surface of a few networks, yet alone different protocols.
>>
>>55254565

Also the sheer problem of viruses and incorrectly labelled shit. Not that it's any different with torrents (private trackers aside, some shit can slip through the cracks if no one checks). I'd almost say there's more inherent risk and load from p2p dc/limewire networks than torrents.
>>
>>55253433

And some poor network has to host it all. Which is the problem, how are they untouchable to hold 'everything in the world', every version of a file so that people of different needs (sizes, versions etc) can be accommodated. Then still be legally connected without some asshat international agreement or gaggle of associations calling for your network to be disconnected from the mainstream internet.

You'd need magic levels of money and influence to pull it off.
