Description Kalle Richter 2015-01-27 16:01:08 UTC 
It'd be nice to have .torrent file downloads provided for ISOs on the gentoo.org website. Tracking the torrent downloads over a tracker on the gentoo.org domain would increase the feeling of security further, contribute to the gentoo.org coporate identity and save resources/enlarge the list of ways of contributing to the project.

Reproducible: Always

torrents.gentoo.org was shut down and deprecated due to low usage in 2012.
I suppose this hasn't changed since. We have an extensive network of HTTP, FTP and RSYNC mirrors worldwide that I think we should concentrate our efforts on.
