Academic Torrents: a torrents site made by and directed to Educators/Researchers

Academic Torrents: a torrents site made by and directed to Educators/Researchers | Create, Innovate & Evaluate in Higher Education | Scoop.it
Currently making 1.67TB of research data available.

Sharing data is hard. Emails have size limits, and setting up servers is too much work. We've designed a distributed system for sharing enormous datasets - for researchers, by researchers. The result is a scalable, secure, and fault-tolerant repository for data, with blazing fast download speeds. Contact us at joecohen@cs.umb.edu.

Alfredo Corell's insight:
What it means for you?

The academic torrents system offers blazing fast download speeds and a site for searching available datasets from various sources. For sharing, distributing datasets on the network means no more setting up file servers, less bandwidth usage, and maximum uptime.

Alfredo Corell's insight:

Luis Javier Martínez Ródriguez, Coordinador del Plan de Competencias en Información de la Biblioteca de la Universidad de Cantabria, ha publicado en E-LIS una guía para ayudar a los estudiantes universitarios: Cómo buscar y usar información científica. Conociendo la calidad de los recursos que en este ámbito crea esta biblioteca estamos seguros de que resultará muy útil.
