Hello,

I got the torrent file file, but there isn't any peer.
https://archive.org/details/wikimediacommons-torrents
https://archive.org/download/wikimediacommons-torrents/wikimediacommons-torrents.torrent


What do you mean? archive.org webseeds them from two separate servers, 
don't you manage to download?

Nice, this was really needed for
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Right_to_fork (although I hope that
never happens). I wonder who is going to use it and for what. Are you
keeping statistics so we can get an idea what gets downloaded and how
many times?


There are already counts, see e.g. the descriptions I linked.
This archive is mostly a "just in case", but you can never say.


Would it make sense if the WMF seeds some (or all) of these
torrents?


Probably not: WMF has very limited bandwidth even for XML dumps, it 
wouldn't be particularly useful. However, there are many mirrors out 
there, so convincing some to seed a few torrents would be nice.
Archive.org has decent bandwidth and no throttling; unless you happen to 
reach them via the horrible he.net links (especially transatlantic), 
it's mostly fine.
