Just a small way to help people get their FOSS. What are some other projects that have torrents that would be good to seed?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If it makes you feel any better, I had a torrent that took about a week to download. 12 months later my ratio is 139 or something. I like to think I resurrected it with the help of that one lone seeder.
No need to feel any better lol none of what I said was troubling. But it’s nice that the torrenting community in general is not just a bunch of leeches. I suspect that is because of the lack of widespread popularity which is good. This should continue to remain a subculture to a certain extent.
