This unfortunately increases the closure size of the tests: Sintel is
124MB, compared to 54MB for the Wired CD. This was the smallest torrent
I could find that both had a free license and was sufficiently well
seeded to be useful for testing.

 emily | haha, it was Warez before? | 17:17:25 |
| emily | I'm having to fix it because of dropping Transmission 3 breaking it. or well, "having to", I could just mark it broken. | 17:17:42 |
| emily | I was surprised Hydra is running it. | 17:17:48 |
 vcunat | Ah, so we end up with thousands copies of Sintel video in the S3. | 17:18:00 |
| emily | but I suppose it's not really any different from fetchurls, mostly. I expect it can't actually receive connections through the firewall. | 17:18:06 |
| emily | probably a tiny contributor to cache growth compared to ISOs etc. in fairness 🙃 | 17:18:30 |
| hexa (signing key rotation when) | we didn't build this on hydra before, it if it was marked unfree | 17:19:04 |
| hexa (signing key rotation when) | we started building this once it was changed to sintel | 17:19:17 |
| hexa (signing key rotation when) | so more likely just hundreds of copies 😄 | 17:19:31 |
| vcunat | So far. | 17:19:41 |
| emily | another consideration is that with Transmission 4 it starts logging things like

| emily | I am not sure what the GDPR implications of temporarily recording the IP addresses of torrent swarm peers in public Hydra logs are | 17:28:57 |
| emily | I'd guess that publicly announcing your IP to serve data to anyone who asks via a tracker means that your IP is no longer personal information | 17:29:22 |
| emily | but I am not a lawyer… | 17:29:29 |
| emily | anyway, if there is a strong feeling about not running these on Hydra I can adjust it in my drop PR | 17:37:02 |
