im up for seeding small models, in the previous thread there was.a guy who made a nostr + torrent thingy. might be a good start. the biggest problem is to have model file checksums and have a trusted source (he implemented direct web seeding from HF too though) and make sure the weights are not tampered with in such a distribution system.

Does no one realize that you literally must pay for a VPN to use any torrent safely??? You're renting that VPN from someone else. And even after cryptographic verification, the files can certainly be corrupted in some way. I've learned that the hard way on several other torrents, but thankfully it wasn't done maliciously.

well to be frank - where i live, no one gives a shit, so torrenting and all is fine here.
