IPFS is basically torrenting, and doesn't even use a Blockchain. And of top of that people are not even using it properly, because centralized nodes seem to be the main wait to get access to the files.

That's because last i checked (admittedly a couple years ago) their software was slow and ressource intensive. Which is quite the opposite of what you want for real-life network transfer software. Meanwhile stuff like syncthing seem to get bittorrent-like transfer just fine.
Dat/hypercore seamed less bloaty (again a while ago), i wonder what the solid projects in this area are currently.. (torrent-based network filesystems)
