We must protect wikipedia, they're our only safe place right now.
Ya tonight Im gonna start torrenting one of the backups. I don't normally seed more than 2x ratio but I think this one will be set to trickle seed and stay on for at least 10x
please do if you have the storage space and bandwith
How big is the torrent, and where do I download from?
