the problem with bittorrent is, if you seed n torrents at the same time. Thats n different pools to keep up to, n dhts to manage, and so on.. With ipfs you seed blocks (folders,files,content) and it does not matter how much, the inital overhead stays the same. e.g. apt could never use torrents due to the amount of small packages.
