Patrons and Objectives

We at FOSS Torrents love and support open-source projects. We offer (and will always offer) a free of cost service. We assure full transparency and focus to invest your funds for superior products and service.

Your funds will help to pay the cost of running this project. This includes domain name registrations, bandwidth, and electricity to run the server.

They will also help fund the development of new tools and assuring the latest up-to-date content for your favorite open-source projects.

We have set up several payment options that should hopefully suit everyone. Go on, be awesome, help grow our community.

Where will the money go?

The budget from this year is quite similar to the previous year. The only difference in the expected expenses is the price of electricity that will go up by 4.9% this year.

Since we are carrying over a $500+ from last year, we are looking into upgrading our server to bring it in this decade. The machine hosting FOSS Torrents was built in 2010 and has served us quite well.

A new processor (currently only 4 cores / 1 threads), at least 64 GB RAM, a 2.5 GBits Ethernet port, and a power supply that can power more than 3 HDD, would be an exciting improvement to continue providing great support to the Open-Source community.

Since most of our revenue comes from amazing and generous donation, we will most likely reach this ambitious goal in 2027 as we need to cover our expenses first.
