Are y'all actually torrenting Linux ISOs. Cus I recommend. Its way faster and fun to have a collection of like 30 distros and try and new branch of the larger Linux tree. I just assume its a joke but I only started torrenting Linux ISO because of seeing it replied so much lol.
Just this week wanted to install ubuntu to a stick and, as you said, because it is everywhere metioned, i torrented it and it was pretty fast at around 160 mbit/s. Worked like a charm, now seeding.
I'm able to max out my 1gb/s card easily most of the time.
Oh yeah, makes sense, my shitty hdd can‘t handle my gb/s connection lol
