Would a federated discovery frontend work? Peertube’s back end of the service would probably work great as a starting point since it uses torrents to ease up on traffic for individual servers

Mod hosting seems to be a great usecase for torrent. It only need a suitable frontend and we are golden.

just use magnet:// links, and optionally ZeroNet if you really require html site.Gnutella2, e2dk:// had network wide plain text search function.
@mnemonicmonkeys
unfortunately WebTorrent is not feasible due inability of web browsers to participate in current DHT network.Find freedom by abandoning https web. In real p2p there is no distinction between fronend or backend, all peer equal.

Seems like a good idea. I wonder if there’s anything already similar.

Someone mentioned this in another thread and I found it interesting:
Ckan kerbal space program mods
Apparently its a frontend for mods that’s hosted on github
