Just had this idea pop up in my mind. Instead of relying on volunteers mirroring package repositories all around the world, why not utilise BitTorrent protocol to move at the very least some some load unto the users and thus increase download speeds as well as decrease latency?
I think they were joking.
They were joking about whole other thing. My topic has nothing to do with distro ISOs, I was talking about packages
A “joke” often references material that is related, but not the same.
Uhhh no, judging by the others, people definitely seem to have problem with confusing what I was talking about exactly
Linux ISO is slang for pirated content. They were clearly joking. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Linux+ISO
Dude, I get their joke, but Linux ISOs are irrelevant to the conversation. That’s what I wanted to point out, because many people get confused and think I was talking about them specifically
HTTP 420
I don’t think people were confused so much as bending the point a little to make a joke topical. It’s both “downloading Linux stuff”.
Ohhhh I thought we were talking about ISOs this whole time! We love these ISOs, don’t we?
Woosh
