Use Torrent to host and download MetaPhlAn database

Microbial community profiling MetaPhlAn
1

Torrents are significantly faster than HTTP(S) downloads, since:

  1. Multiple parts of the same file can be downloaded from different peers at the same time; and
  2. Peers can be selected geographically, acting like a CDN.

As such, an option to download the MetaPhlAn database file via torrent would be appreciated.
