    @Dacexi I normally use a VPN. But I just needed a Ubuntu ISO so I used torrent for that without VPN. Idiots are throttling it 😔

    @tahnik This is the reason (although they don't throttle anything yet, luckily highly against the law here) that I literally ALWAYS use vpn! Even on my phone :)

    Excuse my ignorance, but why do you even need to download / host an Ubuntu torrent? Is there some advantage over just downloading it outright?

    how do you know your being slowed down, it might've just been the speed of the seeders?

    @kvsjxd doesn't help unfortunately

    @mclark1129 It's kind of supporting them by seeding for a while. Servers are expensive for them

    @Kryptic0 Speed ramped to 15mbps and in the next second it came down to around 5. It's easy to understand.

    Why not just download direct, they give http links for a reason.

    @RTRMS It's one way to support them. See my previous comment

    @mclark1129 on shitry/slow connections large .iso downloads have a chance to commit suicide, whereas with torrent you can resume the download without losing progress

    @tahnik ++ for helping keep the server costs lower where you can.

    I've torrented distros before because they sometimes just can't keep the infrastructure up.
