webtorrent VS savepagenow

It's because of the kind of content that is shared. BitTorrent serves a lot of content you are not allowed to redistribute, so having an open gateway immediately puts you at risk of aiding the distribution of content. But it does work, someone even made something native to browsers so browsers themselves can share content: https://webtorrent.io/. There are even fuse "gateways" to make it native to your computer and pretend the files exist locally: https://github.com/search?q=bittorrent+fuse&type=repositorie...

IPFS doesn't seem to be used for that kind of content much, it seems to be targeted more towards web-native content (html pages, images, that kind of stuff). It's probably safer for Cloudflare to run this.

You can stream torrents

If it fits your model, WebTorrent[0] can offload a lot of bandwidth to peers.

[0] https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent

Then https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent could be used to actually download the videos in browser, the idea being here though, that you would at least seed out as much as you got. Enabling other's to access videos without requiring creators have the infrastructure to push a video to 1000s or more clients at once.

I assume you've seen https://webtorrent.io/ ?

Well, you could try using the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine:

Link to website or name of cookbook (note: export a PDF or MP4 to save the original website or video tutorial in case it disappears, also use archive.is & archive.org/web for older recipes that aren't available anymore, like this one)

If you put the link I put above in the following page you can get to a saved version of it https://archive.org/web/

Not sure if it’ll help with this, but https://archive.org/web/ aka the Wayback Machine is good for looking up old versions of websites.

Yeah, the internet already allows you to view any website on any day in history so I still don’t know why that book exists.

yeah you can, https://archive.org/web > scroll down to 'save page now'

Not really, sorry. The best you could do is pop the URL to your bookmarks into the Wayback Machine and see if your bookmarks page was ever captured. Then you could compare your existing page to anything the Wayback has. However, it’s unlikely they would have captured all your bookmarks, or captured them recently, if they ever did.

Accounts you delete/make private may still be viewable via the Wayback Machine. Search it for any URLs related to your accounts, and if they come up, you can follow the steps here or send a GDPR notice similar to how this person did to have them removed from the archive.

Maybe try the Wayback Machine at Archive.org if you have the playlist URL? https://archive.org/web/ I'm not sure it archives that type of thing but worth a shot. Otherwise I'd say start a new playlist asap while your memory is fresh and try to back up the list in a 2nd location somehow (even if it takes a lot of effort, like typing it all out).
