Has anyone set up file-sharing, especially torrents or something similar, over freenet? It reminds me of reticulum in that it's supposedly decentralized, but it looks more technically developed (i.e. not written in python).

My understanding of torrents is that they go to tracker locations, which I don't really understand but seems like a centralized node of some sort. So, I assume torrents themselves can't be ran through freenet, but is there something analogous we should be looking at?

I apologize if this is a dumb question I don’t have much knowledge in this area. I just want to make sure I'm staying on top of the relevant technologies.

Has anyone set up file-sharing, especially torrents or something similar, over reticulum (RNS)?

I'm not into networking, so I'm not sure if what I'm asking actually makes sense, but the way reticulum is described it seems like it'd essentially eliminate the need for VPNs? Or maybe the RNS-VPN effectively replaces your VPN so instead of sending your traffic to a particular trusted private server it just sends it to the reticulum network? Would this still then require access to the wider web or would local torrents work? I don't really know how torrent trackers work or what would need to be replaced or modified.
