Apart from what already was pointed out, that many, if not most ISPs are shaping torrent traffic, it could happen that all seeders go offline, before you downloaded the image. Another thing that should be considered is, that the torrent etiquette postulates, that after you downloaded the image, you should seed it to a minimum ratio of 1. Nobody likes people who just download by torrent and then go offline. People doing this are antisocial. If you download, you also must seed and it should be more, than just a ratio of 1. There are good reasons for torrent, but if download speed is important, torrent is the absolutely wrong way to go. -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
