Do you use TORRENTS to download or share data?

submitted by In-the-clouds from self.DecentralizeAllThings

This peer to peer data sharing protocol has been around for years. I used to use it much more, but recently I downloaded some public domain audio files (for a book) through a torrent and was delighted to see it still works. I rarely hear anyone mention it.

Archive.org hosts over a million torrents.

Yes, I do at times. Mostly for music and TV shows.

I do. I've downloaded and seeded petabytes of data at this point.

Yes, I use Torrents for Linux distros.

A Linux user.... I have also used bittorrent for downloading (and uploading) Linux.

Faster than a Microsoft Update.
