Introduction
FOSS Torrents is a project that promotes Free and Open Source Software by sharing them using the BitTorrent protocol. A repository of all Linux distributions, software and games can be found on their website.
If you want to engage with the project or perhaps become a partner you can reach out to the owner of FOSS Torrents at Discord.
What I do
I am supporting FOSS Torrents by subscribing to their master RSS feed containing all releases of the supported Linux distributions, games and software, and then seed them for at least 90 days.
I use qBittorrent to subscribe to the above mentioned RSS feed that automatically downloads new torrents. My instance of qBittorrent runs as a service in a Linux Container (LXC) running Ubuntu Server 22.04. I use Proxmox as a hypervisor. Every once in a while when my hard drive is about to reach its limit I erase torrents that haven’t had any activity for 90 days or more.
