FAQ: Most asked questions
Yes. You can freely download data as a direct download or via a torrent. Data are supposed to be open and without any copyright.
Our Why:
We believe that open data will help analysts, programmers, other IT specialists and ordinary people to build a better software or run a better analysis.
We have recently found challenging to find a good free and open data sources on the internet because Google prefers “companies with a budget for SEO & marketing”. We have found the best open data sources only accidentally. That’s the reason why we are building CDS – CoronaDataSource.org.
Torrent is a small file, which may help you download data in peer 2 peer networks without a need of huge and fast data server. Any user of torrent network wants to download the same copy of a file.
In the same moment the same user may share parts of the data, which a user has already have and download the rest of data that a user is not currently having.
This system is fast, safe and reliable. That’s the reason why it fits the best for downloading and sharing open data.
No. On our CDS portal there are an open data with the open licence to be used. You cannot be punished because you do not break any of the laws and directives. You do not even need VPN to download via Torrent.
