What can you host with limited bandwidth but lots of storage? (lemmy.zip)

I have a limited 20Mbps upload speed but 16 TB of storage. I’m kinda just asking if there’s anything I can use it for. I’ll donate one purpose: seeding Anna’s Archive. Not sure on other causes.

Seed. I’d rather have at least one whole copy in a swarm versus a bunch of really fast peers that don’t have the complete files.

    Yeah, this.

    It's annoying as hell waiting 6 weeks for someone to come online with that last 3%.

    Anything I find like that I seed as long as I can

    I have my seed box limit upload bandwidth to quite a low value, not because I hate leechers, but because I have to spread out my available data cap to maximize availability over the long term. If I blow through my data in three days I'm not as much good to the network.
