Linux Can Be Downloaded Fast Via A Web Browser Too!

General · May 16, 2012

Wil Wheaton recently posted this blog post titled, “an example of the usefulness of bittorrent for entirely legal purposes” here and pointed out that Bittorrent can be used for legititmate purposes like downloading Ubuntu which is quicker than using a web browser, this isn’t entirely true.

While I agree that Bittorrent is definitely faster, I did a test of my own on a basic cable connection here in Australia downloading an official Ubuntu installation .iso from the official website in Google Chrome, the below screenshot speaks for itself. I would recommend downloading it via Bittorrent because you can resume and pause your download amongst other advantages like not costing the hosting provider money by downloading it from the official website.
