    Also some of the *BSDs.

    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.

    Only pirates trading in 'copyright infringing materials' use bittorrent.

    Thats what my friends at the *aa's told my child in school last week anyway... And something about a 'reward program' of some sort.

  4. Leeching from The Linux Mirror Project by phoebe · · Score: 5, Interesting
    None of the torrent files are actually hosted on linuxisotorrent.com, and more importantly most are from "The Linux Mirror Project" which performs exactly the same purpose - torrents for Linux distributions.

    A concern is that there is no credit to "The Linux Mirror Project" for any of their work in providing the torrents, its only a couple of static files on a webserver and a revenue stream from the google adverts on the side.
