Well, for a torrent to stay healthy, users have to seed after download, so it can't possibly have the same UX as a standard browser file download unless you want to either kill the ecosystem or hide from the user what is consuming upload bandwidth.
That said, for large files, I much prefer the UX of a well-designed torrent client like Transmission to my web browser. If nothing else, the downloads are reliably resumable.

Brave browser had BitTorrent client built in for a while. I tried it a couple of times as I already use Brave for web browsing on my laptop. It was a very confusing BitTorrent client. I struggled to use it, and wasted time waiting for a download to complete only to not be able to find where the files were and then they disappeared. Using a decent BitTorrent client like you say is much preferable to the one that they had in Brave browser.
The issue (real issue?) is that it’s unclear whether these governments reduced their holdings or switched them to these opaque structures (tether can be considered one). The idea is, it would be hard for the US to untangle true ownership. I wonder if UBO was getting undone blue or red because it’s a real threat for such a system but the US needs this “second” lifeline.
If you allow the law to stop you from doing something because of a hypothetical danger, it’ll get severely abused. I come from a country that does and still does this and it’s very ugly.
I am surprised how no one is mentioning how their sneakers dissolves in a couple months? Last store Nike sneaker I bought was 4 years ago. $120 or something and within 2 months it has become unwearable. Since then I only buy new balance from an outlet so the price remains below $100.
Still the last new balance I got are wearing out fast and I am on the look for a newer brand.
I am actually surprised they are still in business and making sales.
Without looking too carefully at the box I accidentally bought a pair of Nikes that had prominent marketing about how environmentally friendly the shoes were. Many parts of it were made out of recycled materials, including the insole that looked like it was made out of shredded multicolored plastic. No matter, it was comfortable, so I wore it. Same as you, after 2 months it disintegrated. Now, I refuse to buy anything from Nike. I also check for any over the top statements about using recycled materials.
How are they going to generate revenue if their old model is Ads on search and the new model is yet to show how revenue can be generated. ChatGPT (on free) is showing ads now but they are not targeted and I highly doubt they are worth anything.
It’s interesting he’s no longer getting any media attention any more.
