Unsloth team should consider building a torrent tracker for their models

Centralization of the LLM space around HuggingFace has been extremely convenient for everyone but it's also a major risk. If it were shut down, there would be a period of chaos before the next best alternative would take its place.

Torrents seem like the best solution for LLM preservation and it shifts the storage burden back to the open-source community which wouldn't be unexpected. I would happily seed key consumer models like Qwen 3.6 and Gemma 4 models and I think many others would too.

A torrent tracker built into Unsloth Studio seems like it would be fairly easily attainable (correct me if I'm wrong....), a big win for LLM preservation, and it would further cement Unsloth's position as a leader in the open-source space.

Edit: A simple starting point would be to just add a column to this page with a link to a torrent published/verified by Unsloth.
