Torrent was also my first thought. Is there any reason why this is not a good solution?

- kevincox 4y agoOne downside is that Torrent doesn't really share blocks between torrents. So updating the torrent would result in a full download. That being said the data is small so it probably isn't a big deal. A better solution may be something like IPFS where with a rolling-checksum chunking algorithm you only need to download the changed parts of the list. You could even use IPNS to distribute updates for a fully decentralized setup.
