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?

      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.
