More modern alternative to bittorrent? (lemmy.world)

Hello. I remember a long time ago I found some protocol that was boasted as a less out-dated version of bittorrent. I think one of its features was that you could update a whatever-their-equivalent-of-a-torrent-is with small changes and those changes could be seeded.

If this sounds familiar, and you know anything about this, I would really appreciate pointing me in the right direction. Thank you.

To potentially answer my own question: I believe the protocol I was looking for might have been the dat protocol which seems to have been replaced by something else.

I think the Hyper stuff is mostly a new name for the same thing.

The real "replacement" might actually be Bluesky though, which is Paul Frazee's new project that he seems to be doing instead.
