#SignalGroup for preserving the #Myrient #ROM database using #BitTorrent

Myrient is a huge collection of retro games and a very nice project. But as they are based on centralized cloud storage, the immense costs were not sustainable. By building a community of people who seed the files for free, the project can stay alive!

How big is the torrent?

@pizza_the_hutt

The idea is to create a bunch of separate ones. The whole database is huge, 144TB exists on this archive alone
