Just a small way to help people get their FOSS. What are some other projects that have torrents that would be good to seed?
At 16kb/s per connection , I think you have to ask yourself if you’re really helping. Have you checked your settings that you aren’t limiting your upload speeds?
Edit: people seem to be offended by this comment, so let me clarify by what I meant with “are you really helping”.
Torrent clients default to a fixed number of peers they download from. If you end up with only 16kb/s connections, you are being limited by those seeders in how fast you can download.
Whereas if there were less seeders but they could provide 1mb/s connections, you are limited by your own internet connection and are downloading full blast.
I hope that clarifies my statement.

That’s a rather toxic mentality to have. Any amount of help is always appreciated.

Torrent clients are usually smart enough to decide what the best seeders are to get the best possible availability and throughput.
OP seeding at 16 KB/s to some peers might also just mean that the leecher’s bandwidth is mostly saturated by other peers so they don’t need that much bandwidth from OP.
You’d be surprised to know that a 500GB hard drive can be theoretically copied in 1 year with a 16kb/s transfer.
Don’t most clients switch to seeders that deliver faster? Over time, I mean?

Gigabit internet connection gang rise up!
Not FOSS, but a library/archive: https://annas-archive.org/torrents
Popular Linux ISOs are usually mirrored across a lot of mirrors (duh), so availability is already very good.
You can take a look here: https://fosstorrents.com/
Be sure to check the checksum after downloading and check if the release is somehow up to date. They only list raspberry pi os images older than a year

Do you have a link to this torrent? I am very interested.

You’re not seeding properly, check your upload settings or try qBittorrent.
OP has acceptable seed ratio on the files near the bottom.
I’m guessing these are all just very recent.
Anna’s Archive can always use help
Is it legal? There may be alternatives with plausible deniability.
Don’t know, I’m not up on copyright law.

netbsd.org will love that
For projects that is on git system, better automate mirroring to your self hosted git alternative
