Comment on Is there a practical reason a lot of FOSS project don't offer torrent downloads or is it just a stigma thing?

For me, it’s a matter of infrastructure for regular downloads being free. I just upload the distributable into a release on Codeberg and I’m done.

Whatever is needed to provide a torrent is just additional complexity, where I’m not sure it actually benefits anyone.
Of course, if I wanted to become more independent from my code hosting platform, torrents would be something to consider. But my projects are far too unknown to get seeded, so it would still just be a direct download with additional hoops.
