Who torrents linux isos? Linux OSes aren't illegal to pirate.
I gather that's a meme that's older than you are?
By linux ISOs I meant any content you're torrenting: movies, software, audio, my little pony porn, whatever.
Not your point, but I actually do recommend torrenting linux ISOs... often much faster than direct downloads from the devs' websites. ;-)
Torrents are more reliable too. Every block gets its checksum verified automatically. If there is any corruption, the block will be downloaded again. With a direct download, you have to verify the checksum yourself and if it's corrupted, you have to download the entire ISO again.
