Nothing inefficient about adding another avenue for pirating Decentralization makes us stronger

It's less resilient, honestly with today speeds it is not that less efficient I would say.

More efficient if the file is less popular or super niche with few seeders with tiny upload speeds or no seeds (due to age of the torrent or the before mentioned). Torrents for sure are more resilient as far as being harder to just shutdown a site. It is still nice to constantly have all options possible to make getting files easy. Though I will say that torrents are more efficient the larger the file. 4k media being a very good example.
