from what i’ve heard internet archive torrents are automatically generated but does it speed up downloads for others or is it just another alternative form of download? (i like more niche archived vhs things so often times the stuff i like isn’t popular anyway). just curious, really. i also donate straight to internet archive because i think they’re worth it but it was just a late night thought i had and was curious.
Definitely useful for helping prevent content from being taken down. Torrents remain searchable through DHT but without seeds they’re just clogging search results
thanks; most of the time i try to get the torrent and keep it seeding but i found a copy of unfabulous that i went through renaming through qbittorrent only to discover it was stalled and i didn’t want to go through the trouble of renaming again because it was late and i was tired. maybe i’ll try again tomorrow just to get it up (i downloaded the raw zip straight through ia)
