Sharing large amount of data Anonymous No.14
I'm trying to share data of a few terabytes on my HDD. How to do this at no cost? Btw the data should be accessible for indefinite length of time. Thanks in advance.

The easiest thing to do for very large storage transfer is to literally ship a drive with all the data out to somebody. That's what Event Horizon Telescope team did with all their data.
However, if you don't want to do it online you could try creating a torrent? That will cause you to have to upload TBs of data and your ISP might not like that, so check your plan first.
When done you can send the infohash to whoever you want to send the data to them directly.
>How do I create a torrent
It's incredibly simple! You open any torrent software, select the "create torrent" option, select whatever file/folder you want to, add whatever metadata you want like torrent name and info, and save it.
You'll have to be running your computer online basically 24/7 but it should work.

Yeah torrent is probably the best way. However that requires me to constantly keep seeding, otherwise the torrent can become dead pretty fast. I'm curious whether ddl sites can work. There are sites that accepts unlimited size data but they delete them after a period of inactivity. Maybe there are scripts to generate download activity once a while?
