Public torrents were never something I understood for anything not open source.

What’s so hard to understand? Anyone who wants trumpblowingclinton.jpg can request it from anybody else on the internet who has it.

I need this on top of my skyscraper once I win the lottery

I am disappointed nobody has argued that it’s what the Jesus would have wanted.

Not enough bread? Copy paste it. Baker won’t mind because we bought the first copy.

Comrades! While the imperialists believed that our efforts were aimed at mastering the seas, the truth was far more glorious: we have been forging ahead into the boundless expanse of space, the ultimate frontier of human destiny!

It’s forbidden Charles. I’ve already stamped my acceptance of my consideration of courtship to Duke Wesselton

So I thought torrents could fix this. But that’s already in the FAQ

Why do you not make the content available to download via torrents?

The truth is that people are only willing to seed the content they are interested in and not obscure content that nobody has heard of. Direct downloads ensure full availability by allowing all content to be available for download, no matter how obscure it may be.

Additionally, as content in sets are always being added or updated, they naturally also have to be updated anywhere else they are available. Torrents are impossible to update without using BitTorrent v2, which has support for mutable torrents but is not widely adopted yet and has caveats.
