It’s kind of silly, but I still really dig the idea behind torrenting and peer to peer sharing of data. It’s cool to think about any old computer helping pass along some odd bits & bytes of data, whether a goofy drawing or strange story.

    I think a good chunk of the Internet Archive is available as torrents, at least the software collections and public domain media.

    You can also download a torrent of the whole of Wikipedia, with and without images.

          Last time I checked the bigest English wiki weighted around 20-30Gb. Can’t remember if that’s with pictures. The Library of Alexandria could’ve been saved by a guy with a smartphone.
