Ya tonight Im gonna start torrenting one of the backups. I don’t normally seed more than 2x ratio but I think this one will be set to trickle seed and stay on for at least 10x
Yeah, the entire compressed thing is only ~40GB if you exclude media like photos, audio files, videos, etc, so it’s surprisingly easy to keep a local backup. You need some specialized software to be able to read the compressed data without fully unzipping it, but the software is FOSS so anyone can use it. Even if you include images, the file is only like 150GB, which is easy for anyone with a NAS.

please do if you have the storage space and bandwith
How big is the torrent, and where do I download from?
40G if you don’t download pics. Closer to 100G with pics
I’ma let one of you who has 40 spare gigs of HDD space do it
Going to kick this off tonight and seed for a good long while. I got you fam.
