Unfortunately, both systems won't work for this. But there is good news. There is Libp2p with which you can create your own DHT in which you will publish hashes of whole files. And you will get your torrents where you can get files by their hashes. It's simple. |

Hi,
I'm writing a tool that's supposed to download a file using a content address generated from just a SHA256 hashsum of the file. The original idea was to use IPFS, but it has a bug preventing it from doing so.
Here I am now wondering, is there some way to download a file from a swarm just by knowing the SHA256 hashsum? Maybe the DHT or querying some tracker? Or maybe libtorrent already provides a function to do so?
