I'm surprised there is no torrent available

  For real, I have a 20TB drive available, and I would seed this indefinitely.

    Yo just since you mention that -- got any recs for a 20tb drive? Currently the biggest thing i rock is just a seagate 8TB nas HDD, which i nabbed pretty cheap, but these days the archiving i do kinda makes me wanna step up even bigger.

  If I had to guess this is the problem > This is a regularly updated mirror p2p software really struggles with mutability. We need stable chunking (I.e. rolling hash chunking around file boundaries) and seeders to seed addressable chunks (similar to bitswap) to preserve seeders from the previous revision when a 16TB archive partially changes. This is something my team is actively researching alongside other p2p problem statements. If it interests you, you know rust, and you’re looking for a job, email me.

    There's a BIP for updatable torrents, and a number of features of bittorrent v2 make it easier. Most archive torrents I see like this usually freeze the older contents so they don't change in later updated releases. Or, release new torrents with new data and keep using the old ones.

      Thanks, will take a look at the BIP
