depends, if it's not "hot" stuff (that copyright owners will search and take down) the internet archive sounds good

torrents are gonna die if nobody seeds, soulseek needs you to be online for someone else to download

Just pointing out that even if OP ends up using torrent or soulseek, it doesn't exclude the possibility of uploading the older stuff to internet archive

I think torrents are the best approach to this thanks to their decentralized nature. they can die if nobody seeds anymore but that doesn't mean uploading it on some site is gonna make it better as that site can go down too. Besides, if you have a spare laptop you can keep always plugged in and doesn't consume a ton, you can make it constantly seed your stuff.

I think personally the best approach is through torrents but that's how I see it. Do what you think works best

Soulseak, I find it the easiest. I use an app called Nicotine+

Yeah soulseek is great just point it at your folder with the stuff you want to share and its available to anyone searching. Creating torrents is good as well but its messy because there are so many overlapping versions.

Get a seedbox, preferably pay with crypto. Or if you want do it at home with a VPN (eg airvpn)

Create torrents using qbittorrent. Linux has cli programs like mktorrent so you can use those too.

Then seed it. Upload it somewhere like 1337x.

I recently found out that eMule is still alive and kicking.
