What about creating a torrent containing all these unmaintained SF projects (with binary downloads included)?

This would dramatically increase the odds that the content is never lost.



The problem with torrents is the lack of incremental update support. If the base torrent gets updated it gets a new hash identifier. How do you know its been changed to ensure you get the latest version. When you do the swarm effectively gets diluted because some are on the new architecture and some are on older versions.


If the SF projects aren't being updated, then what's the issue? The information is, by definition, static.
