Question: Adding Bittorrent download option for Yunohost ISOs

Hi! Hopefully this question is OK, if not please feel free to delete the thread, or let me know where would be a better place to post :smiley:

My YunoHost server

Hardware: n/a
YunoHost version: 4.0.3
I have access to my server : n/a
Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ? : no

Description of my issue

I was wondering if there are any plans to provide .torrent files to download the Yunohost install media ISOs in the future.

Currently the only download links I could find are direct HTTP:
Pre-installed images β€’ YunoHost
YunoHost Images Repository

The reason I ask is because my internet is very slow, around 50kbps, and not stable.

Bittorrent protocol is very helpful for people with slow internet like myself:

  • After an internet outage, I can resume the download without having to get the entire file again
  • I can easily limit the download speed, meaning the connection stays usable during the download

I searched the forum but no one has asked for this before. Yunohost also isn’t available on public torrent trackers like linuxtracker.org.

There is some precedent for Linux projects running their own tracker as well, such as Debian and Ubuntu:
http://bttracker.debian.org:6969/announce
https://torrent.ubuntu.com/announce

Is there any interest in making Bittorrent available as an official download method?
