Description
CIDs are great, unique hash to fetch content, unlike .torrent file.
If one add or remove some file in .torrent, one will create a new torrent, and one will loose all the seeders of old torrent file.
With CID this will not be the case. But discovering through DHT is slow. So one need tracker servers, spread across the internet. DHT can be backup if all trackers are censored.
Can we have similar specification for iroh to add trackers, where instead of magnetic link one can provide CID.
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:3adff9a30c9cdab33c042fb807db6eb23f79a082&dn=AC-37.zip&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.leechers-paradise.org%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexplodie.org%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.empire-js.us%3A1337&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.btorrent.xyz&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openwebtorrent.com
Also, one can fetch list of cids (files) from one cid, and list of cids linked to the trackers.
One can also have file specification, like .torrent. May be use apache parquet format for compression and retrieval, that supports most programming languages.
