TASK DESCRIPTION **Feature summary** : Providing a torrent file <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrent_file> allows another way to access the Wikidata data dumps <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_download>. There are already torrent files for different Wikipedia's <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dump_torrents>, but I did not find those for Wikidata. **Use case(s)** (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution): Downloading data dumps from either Wikidata or the Internet archive can be slow at times. Using Bittorrent might help spread the distribution and would allow faster download speeds. **Benefits** (why should this be implemented?): I am currently experimenting with creating subsets from wikidata where I often download a data dump to work on, or ask someone to repeat the applied method. THere is always the delay to get the dumps to proceed.
