I suspect an Ubuntu Studio beta isn't the target of evil people. Unlikely a man in the middle attacks, let alone that somebody provides a virulent faked ISO and a faked key uploaded to the Ubuntu key server. I only wanted to point out that this is possible. For sure this is more likely for an Ubuntu (without "Studio") LTS, than for an Ubuntu Studio beta. -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

Pretty certain the torrent-files on the website contain a few webseed, but i can't check right now. http://askubuntu.com/questions/313107/what-is-web-seed Non the less, torrent is good, but it is controversial in many countries, yes. So it is a very good idea to check the link provided by Ralf before using them: On 2016-03-12 18:47, Ralf Mardorf wrote: > https://wiki.vuze.com/w/Bad_ISPs However, and i'm adressing all parts in this discussion, please remember OP asks for a _ftp mirror_, not the nature of torrent technology or what is best, better or fraglerock.

Apart from what already was pointed out, that many, if not most ISPs are shaping torrent traffic, it could happen that all seeders go offline, before you downloaded the image. Another thing that should be considered is, that the torrent etiquette postulates, that after you downloaded the image, you should seed it to a minimum ratio of 1. Nobody likes people who just download by torrent and then go offline. People doing this are antisocial. If you download, you also must seed and it should be more, than just a ratio of 1. There are good reasons for torrent, but if download speed is important, torrent is the absolutely wrong way to go. -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
