what is unsafe about downloading Linux ISOs over BT currently?


Nothing. Copyright enforcement bootlickers briefly join the swarm to grab all the IPs and thats it. They (in theory) only have claims on hashes they are payrolled to monitor. Also they need the tracker to cooperate so that rules out private sites with a competent opsec.

Edit: the moment I hit send I realized I fell for a common innuendo. Feeling a bit dumb now.


As a new downloader of Linux ISOs, please start an FAQ when you find the answer.
