What are some (legal) torrents I can seed that help a good cause?
-
Running a Tor relay, even an exit node, is not illegal in most jurisdictions. However, exit node operators may receive a large number of abuse reports and legal threats, which they must properly answer to avoid further trouble and that's why it's not recommended for the individuals to run an exit node.
For those living under authoritarian regimes where Tor might be illegal, the risks are obviously significantly greater.

Depends who you ask I guess, but at least Tor isn't illegal there, is it?

Not exactly legal as OP requested
if Facebook can torrent books and get away with it I should be able to too

True, but that's still not how it works since we have a multi-tiered justice system where corporations are basically able to get away with whatever.

Anna's Archive
Nothing legal about Anna's Archive content.

OP is asking about seeding though, and wasn't the whole Facebook debacle that they never seeded so they got away with it or something? Because they never "distributed" anything?

Hey, so I have recently bought a raspberry pi 4 to use as a selfhosted Nextcloud and Immich server. I also thought about other stuff, I could host on there when I am not using the processing power and bandwidth and I came to the conclusion that I could seed legal torrents (I live in Germany, so I can afford no risks), that are ideally helping humanitarian projects (something like linux distros or open science data. Do you guys have some good ideas for where I could look for torrents that can effectively help people?
Your favorite Linux distro.

There's no warning anywhere saying so, but torrents have been broken on archive.org for years now. I can't remember the specifics but many torrents if IA is the only seed you'll get stuck at 99.9% and it'll never complete.
Infuriating.
Don't download the padding files and you're golden
