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.

The launcher for War Thunder was a p2p client for sharing game files. It worked really well and was essentially it's own CDN. Not sure if it still is.

Steam can do that now but first gotta enable it for friends. Works great for multiple computers on a slower internet connection. One downloads it then shares to the rest.

doesn't that only work on local connections?

Well yes but that's the whole point. If there's no one local it'll be downloading from a CDN regardless.
