Improving IPFS download speeds

[shon3005]

Hi everyone, I have used IPFS + pinata for a few projects and have run into an issue with serving files fast.

I would just like to understand a little bit more about IPFS and how download speeds can be improved.

Is this a matter of getting more people to start providing storage or does this have to do with something else?

Hey @shon3005,
Use nft.storage or web3.storage according to your needs, both projects are part of Protocol Labs.
Both offer free services up to 1 TiB (after that you can request for more storage) and 31 GiB per upload. Download-upload speeds are fast and your content is permanently pinned with the help of Filecoin infrastructure.
