I have a gigabit connection, symmetrical, and don't use it all.<p>Is there a good way to donate this somehow, e.g. to some nonprofit or research groups? Any other ideas?
Maybe provide a mirror of the OpenStreetMap <a href="https://planet.openstreetmap.org/" rel="nofollow">https://planet.openstreetmap.org/</a> , wikipedia <a href="https://wikimedia.bringyour.com/" rel="nofollow">https://wikimedia.bringyour.com/</a> or wikidata dumps. Or Linux <a href="https://ftp.fau.de/" rel="nofollow">https://ftp.fau.de/</a> (statistics <a href="https://ftp.fau.de/cgi-bin/show-ftp-stats.cgi" rel="nofollow">https://ftp.fau.de/cgi-bin/show-ftp-stats.cgi</a>)<p>There are proxy VPNs that pay for access to bandwidth from residential IP addresses, e.g. to crawl Google results. I can't find a URL right now. It wasn't much though, 20 USD per month if I recall.
