Are y'all actually torrenting Linux ISOs. Cus I recommend. Its way faster and fun to have a collection of like 30 distros and try and new branch of the larger Linux tree. I just assume its a joke but I only started torrenting Linux ISO because of seeing it replied so much lol.

I always torrent Linux ISO when I'm trying new distros. Can confirm it's blazing fast to download with torrent. Distro ISO torrents are usually setup with webseed, so they'll both download from the distros' mirror servers AND the torrent swarm at the same time, so they'll always be faster than the standalone http downloads.
