Yeah, I saw that, but it's two years later and it still doesn't work? Not to be snarky, but my limited understanding is that IPNS is really the only novel part of IPFS anyway; if I just want to share a file peer-to-peer based on the hash of the content, bittorrent has existed for ages.

It just seems silly to talk about how HTTP is unreliable because your severs might go down, when the alternative "serverless" architecture you're hyping doesn't work either. I'm totally on board with the aims of IPFS and hope they accomplish all the things they're trying to do, but to say HTTP is obsolete when HTTP works and IPFS doesn't (yet) is just a little too much...
