    Is this legal? Can't the MPAA sue you if you use BitTorrent, even if it is just to download Linux?

      Obviously, if you're using BitTorrent, you're a terrorist, and if you're downloading Linux, you're a communist, too.

    I don't get that? I do *have* it, and it continues to grow. TBH, I do not know the exact number because the filemanager does not tell you per folder size only the total usage and per file (I have submitted that feature request a couple of times, hopefully they'll add it).

    I actually have a total of 63.2GB in my file manager, but I know the majority is in my linux folder (sub'd with distros, kernels, and various patches, misc files).

    If it was not for their Download URL feature, I'd probably only have 5GB as it would take forever to download first and the re-upload (even from the saturated T1 at work).

    oh i just got it, you were being an asshole

    Did anyone else notice that the homepage uses Windows XP's Internet Explorer home button icon between the distro's name and its respective website?

    Apparently LinuxISOtorrent.com doesn't share the same philosophies which propels the software it indirectly hosts.

    I wonder how much money they've made off this slashdotting from advertising? Pffft.
