Re: [ros-general] Torrents for ReactOS build environment

[Frank Van Damme]

Hello,

A couple of major Linux distributions ofer bittorrent downloads as an option.

https://linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=281 Torrent listed before iso link
https://ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads -> scroll down for bittorrent
https://www.debian.org/distrib/ -> small print under "Download an
installation image"
http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/ftp.centos.org/8.3.2011/isos/x86_64/ -> of
course these are iso images to be found but there is a torrent file as
well

Greetings,
