Awesome! But I hope you aren't using the actual program "bitTorrent" cause that shit had a litany of privacy and security issues that I don't even know where to start describing. A good one nowadays is qBitTorrent
I exclusively use qbittorrent to download Linux distros.
Don't forget to upload some ISOs as well! Keep the network healthy and happy :)
What do you use for other downloads?
It’s qbittorrent all the way down.
You use qbittorrent to download qbittorrent? I think that causes a rip in the spacetime continuum.
It's an impressive piece of software, alright
You don't solve that by using another program. You try to reduce the damage by using the torrent client in a dedicated virtual machine and reset the machine to the original image at regular intervals.
Yeah or you could, you know, just download a program that isn't problematic.
