Academic Torrents

Academics Torrents was established to meet the demands of science in the age of big data. It utilizes a scalable BitTorrent platform that distributes the burden of hosting data, eliminating the risk of data loss due to the rise and fall of dataset hosting providers. Researchers are empowered to replicate data they are working with and share large datasets without incurring the high costs usually associated with commercial providers. Academic Torrents is a product of the Institute for Reproducible Research (a U.S. 501(c)3 nonprofit).
