Resilio wouldn’t work well for distribution…

But archive.org seems to handle torrents pretty well. When they have a bundle they add a torrent with the same content, and set up themselves as webseed… Then everyone can download either directly or through torrent, and choose to seed what they want. If the content changes, post a new torrent… Of course that means that any old seeders get invalidated… But if they care about seeding they could update the torrent and point it at the old download to avoid redownloading everything. But also, how often does this content actually change? If a game iso/rom is ripped/dumped correctly isn’t that data kind of final? Why would the bit-perfect data need to change?

Insulation works both ways… It keeps houses warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

In addition people often use VLANs for security segregation. For example you might buy a bunch of cheap Chinese security cameras, but want to ensure that they can’t send anything back to the manufacturer. Then you can make a VLAN with no Internet access for the cameras.
