Just a small way to help people get their FOSS. What are some other projects that have torrents that would be good to seed?

    Ahh makes sense. I still direct download but I guess if I had Torrent client locally it might be nice. But 3-4GiB on direct download doesn’t take long…

      It’s more of a way to reduce costs for the CDN, using torrents everyone contributes and they only have to send a small magnet file.

      It doesn’t, but thousands of people all downloading 3-4GB from the same site will put more load on the site. Torrents avoid this issue by downloading little bits from lots of different peers
