Is Storing Torrent Files or Magnet Links a Good Idea?
I'd like to store/seed important data (wikipedia, gutenberg, etc.), and read recently that it would be a good idea to store torrent files long-term. My questions are: 1. Is it better to store torrent files or magnet links? 2. Will a given magnet link retrieve the exact same .torrent file *every* initiation? 3. Is storage of these files/links a good idea (especially if I have the files)? This question is really about whether magnet links or torrent files are better to store long term, with a sanity check that this is something that should be done. I've read these two StackExchange posts which were very helpful, and am looking to get more technical opinions and info: - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3844502 - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10999786/
