I work for a Canadian university library and I assure you that data archival efforts are proceeding apace. I can't really say more without possibly endangering American colleagues.
16TB is within the capacity of individuals. Given I don’t trust even Harvard to be safe with the impending onslaught, anyone with the means of downloading a copy for themselves should do so.
Most p2p clients support it, you'll need to refer to their documentation to enable.
For the most part all you need to do to enable it is right click a completed download then select "super seeding" mode. It's at least that straightforward for QBT.

At least private institutions are stepping up. Where's the rest of the universities?

Dependent on federal money.

... Thus, not saying a thing if they do actually cache it.

I'll officially be seeding more of this type of stuff (annas, cdc, etc) than all of my "Linux isos". Feels good.

Did they create a torrent for this, or just straight downloads?

It appears to be hosted via S3 compatible object store. Their docs provide examples to browse/download via
awscliorboto3(as well asrclone).https://source.coop/repositories/harvard-lil/gov-data/description https://source.coop/repositories/harvard-lil/gov-data/access

Cold storage is $2 per TB/mo. Could easily be crowdfunded. $410/yr to keep it around.

Thank goodness. I was hoping for something like this.

Remember folks, to avoid Linux ISO honeypots you must enable Super-Seeding.

Is there a list of super-seeding complaint clients? I can't seem to find one. Hell, I can't even check to see if my client supports it.

I never knew. My version of Deluge is 1.3.5, and super seeding requires 2.0+. So that looks like the issue. lol

Hmm, in that case I recommend you read into "Bandwidth Tweaking":

I'm gonna look into upgrading, but I've implemented this as well. Thanks.
