    I like how Bill Wurtz does it at `https://billwurtz.com`. Dump everything on a server and list things manually in html.

    Or you could let your webserver deal with the directory listing. Caddy's looks nice, is customisable too. Can't get simpler than that!

      Bonus if also add a .torrent with the same as webseeds: Can make easier for visitor to grab in bulk and makes a way to keep sharing in further future. No strict need to run torrent client to act as webseed - just point at http url.

    CasaOS on a Raspberry Pi works pretty well for this. Simple web interface, handles big libraries fine, and you don’t have to mess around with complicated server setup.

    > Anyways; what i am seeking as an alternative would also include sharing my books

    If it is your books, literally, then Zenodo is among the best for long-term preservation.

    > The service would need to be free; and an easy uploading process. (similar to how the archive's works.)

    Nothing is ever free forever.

    Geeze, you've been using IA to host your own personal media projects? That's disappointing to hear. What's wrong with, like, SoundCloud, etc?

    I rely on IA for literal public archival material like newspaper scans and broadcast recordings. Your usage of it seems a tad self-indulgent.

    It seems like having a 1TB drive and p2p hosting would be the most pro-social move, here, if you're unwilling to pay for cloud hosting or otherwise participate in the market.
