Description Graham Perrin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2022-03-26 07:47:23 UTC 
Whilst drafting a response to <https://old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/toc583/-/>

> Can FreeBSD iso downloads be any faster than 100KB/sec max?

<https://www.startpage.com/do/dsearch?query=FreeBSD+download+bittorrent&cat=web&pl=ext-ff&language=english> found: 

<http://www.far-far-away.com/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-bittorrent.html>

> A.3 BitTorrent
> 
> The ISO images for the basic release CDs are available via BitTorrent. 
> A collection of torrent files to download the images is available at 
> http://torrents.freebsd.org:8080

<https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/commit/66353d5757ac279271cda5ba674f4c35e63e6343> (2012-12-05) for bug 173598 was: 

> Remove torrents.FreeBSD.org; it likely will not be back. 

Now

<https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/search?o=desc&q=torrents.freebsd.org&s=indexed&type=code> finds a few remaining mentions, so, for example: 

* <https://docs.freebsd.org/hu/books/handbook/mirrors/#_bittorrent>
* <https://docs.freebsd.org/hu/books/handbook/book/#_bittorrent>

* <https://docs.freebsd.org/mn/books/handbook/mirrors/#mirrors-bittorrent>
* bug 262818 prevents discovery of the corresponding anchor in the 
  long HTML (non-split) mn version

* <https://docs.freebsd.org/nl/books/handbook/mirrors/#mirrors-bittorrent>
* <https://docs.freebsd.org/nl/books/handbook/book/#mirrors-bittorrent>

* <https://docs.freebsd.org/zh-cn/books/handbook/mirrors/#mirrors-bittorrent>
* <https://docs.freebsd.org/zh-cn/books/handbook/book/#mirrors-bittorrent>

Side note: inconsistent anchoring.
