i know all the memes about torrents for your "blu-ray backups" and your #linux ISOs but real talk: i love me some torrents for actual linux ISOs. i seem to be able to grab the disk images faster than a direct download and there's always a ton of seeders. it's been useful today while i'm playing the game of "which distro will be the least pain in the ass on this ancient machine?"
