Is BitTorrent still relevant in the Modern Era? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hello everyone,

I recently came across an article on TorrentFreak about the BitTorrent protocol and found myself wondering if it has remained relevant in today's digital landscape. Given the rapid advancements in technology, I was curious to know if BitTorrent has been surpassed by a more efficient protocol, or if it continues to hold its ground (like I2P?).

Thank you for your insights!

I remember when eDonkey and later eMule were brand spanking new... It took quite a while for BitTorrent to gain enough traction (and for me to get fast enough internet) for it to be better... (and, frankly, I still miss eMule's Kademlia network's peer to peer search capabilities...)
