Torrent contains the tarred contents of Harvard's S3 bucket containing their data.gov files.
Please forgive me, this is the first time I've made a torrent, and it's a doozy. Feedback very welcome!
Why tar files? This contains 300k+ directories of data, with a lot of very long file names. My first attempt at the torrent resulted in a 1.4GB file. Even tarred, I had to run mktorrent -l 24 to get a chunk count that wouldn't be rejected by clients.
