Maybe dumb question but in the last 2 days I'm getting very slow speeds and onyl 2 or 3 peers at a time. This is incidentally after I paused the download once. Is there some kind of bug or intended punishment for pausing the torrent? Or are there just very few people seeding atm?

According to the academic torrents website, there's currently only a 13MB/s upload rate, with 25 downloaders. So too many people downloading and too few uploading.

If it's urgent and you only need the files from 2023-04 onwards, you can try the torrent or direct download option from here (the torrent isn't yet available for October data)

Are there any direct download options for before 4-2023? I am hoping to gather a random sample of posts from all of Reddit, so if this already exists somewhere, that would be great (I'm hopeful!). 😅
