In my experience, to archive effectively you need a physical datacenter footprint, or to rent capacity of someone who does. Over a longer timespan (even just 6 months), having your own footprint is a lower total cost of ownership, provided you have the skills or access to someone with the skills to run Kubernetes + Ceph (or something similar).

> Is this a use case for Torrents?

Yes, provided you have a good way to dynamically append a distributed index of torrents and users willing to run that software in addition to the torrent software. Should be easy enough to define in container-compose.
