from what i've heard internet archive torrents are automatically generated but does it speed up downloads for others or is it just another alternative form of download? (i like more niche archived vhs things so often times the stuff i like isn't popular anyway). just curious, really. i also donate straight to internet archive because i think they're worth it but it was just a late night thought i had and was curious.

Never had anyone download from any IA torrents I've hosted. I'd say only do it if it's something you have a reason to believe will be taken down at some point. Whether that be from government censorship, for copyright reasons, etc.
