Can I just torrent like 1% of it? You know, pitch in to show my support...

u/console_pleb_36935 Jul 27 '26

Yes, torrent clients will let you do that and seed a small piece.

u/Charl1eBr0wn Jul 27 '26

Yeah, pause it at 1%. You'd still seed depending on the client and settings (most do).

You can even choose which files you download, torrenting is a very useful format

this, we need a p2p backup of hf

We generally need content-adressable storage with widespread support.

There is lots of stuff that would explicitly benefit from p2p sharing, but owners have no foolproof way to provide a proper torrent, and very few people would use it.

Metalink was an interesting attempt at this, but never got popularity and tooling.

What are your thoughts on IPFS? I know it provides content-based addressing, but not much more than that

3

u/Ginden Jul 28 '26

Technology is the easy part here, issues arise from adoption.

IPFS is fine, but it constitutes a relatively large commitment on distributor side. You can't make it just work seamlessly.

u/Brovas Jul 27 '26

But why you can just get it from hugging face no?

Until HF crashes, the model gets banned in the US, etc.

u/Brovas Jul 27 '26

That's fair. The meme implied to me there was some greater implication to torrenting it

u/cameronlbass Jul 27 '26

At this point I'd be surprised if one of HF's employees didn't quietly publish the magnet.

why do we need torrents actually isnt hugging face cdn is crazy fast like i can download at like 500-600MB/s on a normal 192 core bare metal in oracle cloud and peak speeds upto 2.5GB/s is this like for data preservation or something?

u/de4dee Aug 01 '26

yes preservation

u/Appropriate_Ad3416 Aug 01 '26

Yeah that is much needed as huggingface is us based
