I have a pretty solid connection that has been sitting unused most of the time I'm not home. So I started thinking it would be a good deed to keep seeding torrent files of interesting projects. I already have a Raspberry Pi that's always on (since its my local DNS/DHCP server) so it was just a matter of installing a torrent daemon with a web interface.

My question is, what torrents would the SN community advise me to seed? Of course, I'm talking about content which does not infringe copyright terms. So far I am seeding ISO images for Linux Mint (Cinnamon and Mate), Xubuntu 14.04 and NOOBs (for the RaspberryPi) but I'm thinking there is a lot of other cool stuff that deserves more seeding. Do you know any?

    It isn't a feature of bittorrent itself, but many clients will support grabbing torrents from RSS feeds. At first glance LibreOffice doesn't seem to offer RSS feeds of its downloads, though, so that won't work with that particular bit of software. The one thing that I haven't seen in BT software is "delete this torrent & data after getting a newer one", so that part will still be a manual process.
