  1. http://torrentfreak.com/academics-launch-torrent-site-to-share-papers-and-datasets-140131/ Researchers from the University of Massachusetts ( Joseph Cohen and Henry Lo, two PhD ) have launched a torrent site which allows academics to share papers and datasets. AcademicTorrents provides researchers with a reliable and decentralized platform to share their work with peers, as well as the rest of the world. The site currently indexes over 1.5 petabytes of data, including NASA's map of Mars. Academics, or anyone else who's interested can join the site and start sharing. NASA's 42 gigabyte map of Mars may be a good start, and a recent copy of Wikipedia might come in handy too. http://academictorrents.com/ AcademicTorrents allows researchers to upload datasets, articles and other research material. The site runs it own tracker and supports web-seeds as well, which guarantee that files are available at all times. “One aim of this site is to create the infrastructure to allow open access journals to operate at low cost. By facilitating file transfers, the journal can focus on it's core mission of providing world class research. After peer review the paper can be indexed on this site and disseminated throughout our system,” “Large dataset delivery can be supported by researchers in the field that have the dataset on their machine. A popular large dataset doesn't need to be housed centrally. Researchers can have part of the dataset they are working on and they can help host it together,”
