What's the advantage?
I think download speed, but that matters for large images (like Debian
indeed). Unless ReactOS became huge when I didn't watch it close enough :-)

Hello,
A couple of major Linux distributions ofer bittorrent downloads as an option.
https://linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=281 Torrent listed before iso link
https://ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads -> scroll down for bittorrent
https://www.debian.org/distrib/ -> small print under "Download an
installation image"
http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/ftp.centos.org/8.3.2011/isos/x86_64/ -> of
course these are iso images to be found but there is a torrent file as
well
Greetings,

So I decided to create a torrent
file for it and setup 2 seeds. The torrents can be downloaded from:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1GXOF8TxQrmc4BiRPL4F8ZmqoCdFv9j-H
I think it would be good idea to share the torrents on the RosBE wiki
page, and maybe also create an official tracker to share ReactOS files,
setup other seeds, etc. Sounds like a good idea?
While I like people who take the initiative, I haven't seen torrents
widely used for open source software distribution for at least a decade.
Whenever I encounter a slow download these days, I can always choose an
alternative mirror that is faster.
SourceForge.net already offers quite a few mirrors. And even if all of
them happen to be slow, we already have https://download.reactos.org
I guess that is the URL which actually needs more advertising.
Cheers,
Colin
