Charitable uses of upload bandwidth?

Question

My google-fu is failing me. I already donate most of my spare CPU time to BOINC projects. I'd like to donate my spare up-load bandwidth to worthy causes, particularly if they have high-social value, like if it helps save lives or helps scientific research. Unlike BOINC, bit torrent doesn't come with a list of non-profits that need help.

Does anyone know of a list like this?

Background. I considered being a Tor exit node and pirates bay seeder, but both can lead to phone calls from lawyers or my ISP and pirates bay is mostly entertainment, not exactly a worthy charitable cause.

While Linux is really cool, bringing yet another operating system to the world doesn't interest me if there isn't a interesting angle to it.

Answer 1

Be a seed for the SICP lectures on Bittorrent?

Answer 2

I donate my upload bandwidth to GIGRIB.

It is distributed website monitoring service. If you participate your bandwidth will be used to detect if websites are down and in turn you can have your own websites monitored.

Answer 3

You've inspired me to start seeding some torrents from linuxtracker.org.

Answer 4

Debian and Ubuntu can always use help - they make releases available via bittorrent.

Also you could be a Tor bridge relay, which lets you help the network but not take on the risks associated with being an exit node.

Along those lines, I2P is neat and worthy of help.
