Godot Export Template Torrent
After a lot of frustration trying to download the Godot export templates I got a generic server error at about 400MB downloaded. After which searched for torrents of the export templates and found none. For an open source community project we can't all rely on 1 server to export our games. Below are torrent files for the compressed .tpz archives downloaded from the mirror.
Consider seeding these if you are able in order to help make the downloads faster and more reliable for everyone.
fosstorrents.com also has some of the export templates as torrents although they are slower as they do not incorporate http sources.
If you need a version not listed below leave a comment at the bottom of this page and I will add it.
UPDATE:
Almost all export templates are now available, some are missing because the name on the godot archive is wrong, (some of the 3.3 betas actually link to a 3.2.4 so I don't know what to put up here) and the 2.0.4 versions are missing from the archive.
IMPORTANT:
There are fair concerns regarding the authenticity of the torrents. These are created automatically by a script I wrote. The godot archive is checked every 3 hours for new export template and then it is hashed and a torrent file is created. The checksums of these torrents will correspond to those of the files so you can check that they are identical (https://github.com/godotengine/godot-builds). This is planned to be automated into godot itself see (https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/112380).
The ideal fix for this would be torrent hashing integrated into the build pipeline of the engine, if this is implemented everyone seeding these torrents will also be seeding the official ones. However the core team seems against this for some reason. Ideally I would like to work with someone in order to have a community managed space where whoever creates the torrents is double checked first before the files are distributed.
