Ask HN: How and Where to Donate Bandwidth
I have a 1000/400 Mbps fibre connection at home that is and will not ever be loaded.
Is there a project I could donate it to? Some kind of shared-something where the missing medium would be bandwidth?
I already bittorent some Linux distros but the load is insignificant.
