While I’m not a fan of using BitTorrent and doing torrent downloading illegally, I am a fan of how the technology can be used legally.  Sourcing bits and pieces of a huge file from tens of thousands of people, speeding it up for me and reducing bandwith costs for those who share?  Yes, please; sign me up for that.  Fortunately, torrenting is perfectly legal, if you’re torrenting legal material.  If you’re a fan of the Internet Archive and its millions of free and legal movies, concert recordings, television, radio programs, and the like, then I have good news for you.  The Internet Archive is adding over 1 million torrent files to their website.

Check it out yourself.  As new files are uploaded, they’ll get torrent options,  I imagine more popular older files also have torrenting options as well.  While it’s a weird collection of stuff, it’s still got some interesting content within the archives and it’s definitely worth checking out because if you don’t like it, you haven’t spent any money.
