from what i’ve heard internet archive torrents are automatically generated but does it speed up downloads for others or is it just another alternative form of download? (i like more niche archived vhs things so often times the stuff i like isn’t popular anyway). just curious, really. i also donate straight to internet archive because i think they’re worth it but it was just a late night thought i had and was curious.

      I am seeding a few, and yes, they get some traffic. Not as much as I would expect, but each currently has a seed ratio >0.0.
