Just a small way to help people get their FOSS. What are some other projects that have torrents that would be good to seed?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why not direct download from website?
I think it saves them costs but idk shit about servers
Can be faster than downloading from a centralised server that everyone is trying to download from. But mostly just habit.
Avoid detracting from the hosts bandwidth quota.
