>BitTorrent, namely, has fixed chunks and data overlaps in them from adjacent files

BitTorrent 2 fixes that: https://blog.libtorrent.org/2020/09/bittorrent-v2/ (hash trees section)

Thanks, I actually did suspect they do. They still aren't Web friendly and require dedicated software unlike IPFS via gateways being more Web-ready.

Who knows, BitTorrent might have never fixed this without seeing how IPFS works.

Though it isn't an ideal solution (it's rather large and doesn't have DHT support), https://webtorrent.io supports torrents in browsers.

Evolution makes different systems adopt each other's features and eventually they may equate as operating systems did. IPFS has key necessary features more on the surface and is a lot more adaptive to modern operating systems compared to torrents, with much less internal games nearly absent in a nodal IPFS software design.

Multiple things make IPFS a more architecture-oriented solution than application-oriented BitTorrent.

There are various application features yet holding back BitTorrent and LG will utilize them in future.
