Just had this idea pop up in my mind. Instead of relying on volunteers mirroring package repositories all around the world, why not utilise BitTorrent protocol to move at the very least some some load unto the users and thus increase download speeds as well as decrease latency?

    Yeah, not my brightest one, that’s for sure. Still, idk about what manu distros everyone is talking about. Big distros utilise volunteer-run mirrors, from what I’ve been able to find.
