I need somebody to seed a torrent for me. The file is a wikipedia dump and quite large(over 2 GB). I'll be grateful if somebody can help me out with this one.

I've already downloaded the file, but the download was broken due to my faulty ram. Torrent clients can resume broken downloads, but the website is not providing any torrent links:(

So, if I'm understanding correctly, you have the file, but it's corrupted. You need someone to download it, create a torrent, and seed the torrent to you so that the torrent client can throw out the bad data and replace it instead of downloading the entire file again.


Edit: Alright, all set. The torrent I made has the download link set up as a webseed, so make sure you use a client that supports it (Deluge, KTorrent, and Transmission, to name a few).


Edit: Attachment removed - no longer necessary as OP has finished the download.

Glad to be of assistance. I take this to mean that you're done downloading? Interesting. I wonder who's downloading it now.

Some Japanese Guy. Also, I had another anonymous person seeding the file besides you.
