Seeding 500TB I'm guessing requires 500TB of disk space. I don't have even close to that. I would if I could though, so excited to see anyone answer the call!

- optimus_banana 2y agoMost torrent clients let you select subsets of file to download (and thus seed) so you can choose a portion to download whatever amount of disk space you are willing to lend.
- novagameco 2y agoYou don't have to download all files in the torrent. Most torrent clients support partial downloads and you would only seed those parts. The main concern would be that you would be undoubtedly distributing copyrighted material
- dantillberg 2y agoIt's possible to download/seed just a fraction of a torrent.
- Shank 2y agoIt seems you can specify the storage space you want to devote, and it will suggest torrents to match. For example, duxiu is only ~40gb. This is separate from torrent-client limiting -- you can just seed specific parts of the collection if you want.
- Dutchie987 2y ago100 people sharing a shard of 5TB each is even better (more resilient).
- wongarsu 2y agoThe individual torrents are only a couple GB to a couple TB each. You can automatically generate a list of torrents of how ever many terabytes you are willing to seed 1: https://annas-archive.org/torrents#generate_torrent_list https://annas-archive.org/torrents#generate_torrent_list
