Going to be interesting times, in a bad way. Everyone knows now in the US the newly appointed FCC chairman is going to be Brendan Carr, who is against the idea of Net Neutrality so we expect that to go away again similarly to how Ajit Pai got rid of it when he was around.

Should anyone be worried about what this guy can do? Will he carry on the fight for entertainment industry's interests?

Okay, can we focus on the subject matter instead of just devolving it into a stupid meme and treating this platform like it's reddit? Come on, grow up and I've blocked half of you already.

Torrents are more reliable too. Every block gets its checksum verified automatically. If there is any corruption, the block will be downloaded again. With a direct download, you have to verify the checksum yourself and if it's corrupted, you have to download the entire ISO again.
