I use Arch btw.
what client is that?
qbit but its API is connected to Helmarr. I think Helmarr connects to transmission and deluge as well. iOS only.
thanks!
Haven’t looked at my ratios in a while
Noob here, is there a benefit to torrenting Linux distros rather than downloading them from the website?
Edit: thank you for the education!
Torrent is fully decentralised and therefore accessible in practically all jurisdictions, regardless of the server status.
In many cases, I have also found Torrents to be considerably faster than direct downloads — however, your mileage may vary.
I find they’re faster too. Another benefit of them being distributed is the distributor doesn’t have to pay for all the bandwidth for every download, which I understand can be a considerable savings for smaller distros.
Even better!
You save the server bandwidth bills and have all the people currently downloading help you get it instead of competing with you. Also, most torrent clients are way more competent and featurefull for handling downloads than most browsers.
Usually, it doesn’t make a lot of difference.
i tell people* it’s because torrents are faster**
but it’s really because they’re cooler*i made that up i’ve never gotten that far into a conversation about distro downloads
**in my experience it is actually a bit faster

None of these are my daily driver, FWIW I use Pop!
I can’t compete with the multi-TB seeders (blame my ISP’s absolutely trash asymmetric upload rate), but I can still help!

Based transmission enjoyer (unless it’s the qt version /j).
Transmission is so good. I wish more applications offered multiple toolkit frontends.
I like the Qt version, btw
it’s only half based cuz it was running on Windows (was too lazy to set up existing Debian box to use as the support PC)
This is from a year or so.
Keep seeding my friends.
I think I’m still seeding a Lubuntu from a couple of months ago, I don’t remember deleting it. I’ll check later.
Edit: I just checked, it’s been there for a little less than a month, I really thought it was longer, it has a ratio of 5.32 not bad for something that many seeds.
downloaded a lubuntu iso the other day, ty 🫡
Yes… I also forget
