True but let me be a littlebit paranoid. Would it not be possible to create a
new .fs / .iso with new keys in /etc/signify/* and new SHA256 / .sig files to
place bad content and distribute it using a torrent ? I came across this idea

Of course, the point doesn't apply to miniroot* but to installxx.xx.
It doesn't remove the problem of long download for some and servers

The whole point of signing the SHA256 is you don't have to trust the person
who gives it to you.
Let's say, you provide a torrent for the .fs and .iso files. Who trusts a
SHA256.sig file from an unofficial torrent ?
If you look at the errata page, you see, that you have to patch the system to
keep it up to date and, there are no official updates of the .fs and .iso files

To be fair, popular downl
yes, but unlike those distros the openbsd installers aren't measured in
gigabytes.
The site mentioned by OP (http://openbsd.somedomain.net) is up to date,
and has the torrents mentioned.

Many distros sport torrents: NetBSD, Debian, and Ubuntu to name some. Rationale
behind this is simple: torrents download with ridiculous speed if they are
popular enough.

Hi,
I think it's kinda pointless to have a torrent for this. You got enough

Hello,
I was wondering if there is any particular reason explaining why there
is no torrent file to retrieve OpenBSD *.fs and *.iso.
