Bittorent's main advantage (aside from not hosting every single chunk a file as separate entity) is that with tracker it effectively creates its own small network of hosts sharing a given torrent, and even in case of DHT you kinda just use it to find other peers for the one big torrent and that's about it.

Even in massive torrents with thousands of peers you just pick a bunch to talk with and that's it.

And publishing one was same thing essentially. Just that each peer's peer network will mesh enough to propagate data quickly.

It honestly looks like fundamental design issue. Bittorrent was blazing fast from the beginning and it only got better.
