(A distributed, voluntary backup system (high-level design document)) You're most of the way there with the distributed storage workers scheme u/stavros proposed ("Elephant") to increase Internet Archive item durability through a distributed volunteer seeder network. Feature request would be the ability to specify RSS feeds serving torrent files or magnet links to consume for seeding operations. This would also enable providing this data over ATProto for consumption, although I'm unsure at the moment if a lexicon would be needed. If there is a tip jar, happy to tip, please consider adding to your repo or GitHub profile somewhere.

    I thought about offering alternative "torrents list", but didn't find any. Internet Archive would be a great one. I'm not sure about how ATProto works, but I made sure to enable WebTorrents so that it would be quite easy to download from Levin seeders using a browser only. As for tipping - I really appreciate it, but there are really many people/projects that would need it much more than me.
