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.

Yes, I torrent Linux ISOs for any version or distro I want to install, and then I seed them until I download an updated version of whichever distro (and occasionally I'll clean up old ones if I stopped using that distro but the version I have is ancient).

But of course when we talk about torrenting in public forums, it's funny to only mention all the Linux distros we are torrenting and remaining hush-hush about other things we may be sharing.
