Re: torrent downloads

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 as I readed long time ago some ideas how goverments could

Re: torrent downloads

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 after a patch.

Re: torrent downloads

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. it just seems, nobody cares. On 2017 Apr 27 (Thu) at 15:07:38 +0200 (+0200), Nicolas Schmidt wrote: :Many

Re: torrent downloads

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. Best, Nicolas > Am 27.04.2017 um 14:36 schrieb Markus Rosjat : > > Hi, > > I think it's kinda pointless

Re: torrent downloads

Hi, I think it's kinda pointless to have a torrent for this. You got enough good mirrors to download from anyway. And nowadays it's not a biggy to download a iso or so of somewhat 200mb. and yes I'm the proud owner of some awesome puffy shirts too (if someone is concerned about the download

torrent downloads

Hello, I was wondering if there is any particular reason explaining why there is no torrent file to retrieve OpenBSD *.fs and *.iso. I've been looking on the list and only found this site that doesn't seems up to date [1]. If the reason is a lack of human ressources, I think I can handle it.
