So, in light of recent events at the US (like the deletion of CDC data), I want to start saving data so others can access it throught torrenting (and not just limited to US stuff like the CDC, it was just what triggered me to get into this), and a guide, or some pointers to guides, would be wonderful. Things like

Important stuff that would need torrenting (like the CDC, Wikipedia, data (or software) from other important organizations...)
Setup tips (HDD or SSD? external or internal? a dedicated PC/server [asking because I have no idea]?)
Good practices (good trackers, bad trackers, should I use VPN, should I structure the torrent folders a certain way[again, asking because I have no idea]?)

Right now I'm planning on getting a 1TB HDD just for it (and I'm aware it's too small, but I guess I gotta start with something?)
