Linux distributions got this right: Offer both HTTP and Torrents. Let the user decide.

- kingstnap 4mo agoI believe they don't do torrents because it gives them a lot more control. Like they can takedown or update downloads and they can prevent someone from trivially bypassing the license agreements you need to accept for some models.
