I shared a folder with > 1000 Pictures and it took hours to initially hash them. Bad thing is that OneSwarm had to reinitialize every file (or the correspondig .torrent) on startup which lasted remarkably longer as firing up my regular torrent client or eMule. So, performance is still an issue. Others may not like the browser UI, I for myself think its okay, I just had problems figuring out the different sharing options. I like the idea of F2F and seeing that there are a bunch of similar projects arising (Retroshare, Alliance). I hope it will be an option for the future. Unfortunately there is still the one killer F2F app missing. I’ve tried OneSwarm before but kicked it because it created a .torrent file for every file in my share.

Like with the F2F concept, OneSwarm isn't exactly designed for bandwidth-nibblers. However, all over the world, ISP's are moving along with the time, and moderately cheap connections with plenty of available bandwidth can be found in most countries. True.
