Hi Richard;<br><br>Yes, a distributed project would be probably the best solution, but it is not easy to develop, unless you use a library like bittorrent, or similar and you have many peers. Althought most of the people don&#39;t seed the files long time, so sometimes is better to depend on a few committed persons than a big but ephemeral crowd.<br>

    It would be useful to have  an archive of archives.  I have to
    delete my old data dumps as time passes, for space reasons, however
    a team could, between them, maintain multiple copies of every data
    dump. This would make a nice distributed project. <br><div><div></div><div class="h5">

      Can you imagine a day when Wikipedia is added to this list?[1]<br>
      <br>
      WikiTeam have developed a script[2] to download all the Wikipedia
      dumps (and her sister projects) from <a href="http://dumps.wikimedia.org" target="_blank">dumps.wikimedia.org</a>. It
      sorts in folders and checks md5sum. It only works on Linux (it
      uses wget).<br>
      <br>
      You will need about 100GB to download all the 7z files.<br>
      <br>
      Save our memory.<br>
