Thank you to everyone who responded helpfully. My question is whether mirrorbrain is purposely prevented from providing torrent links. I am going to assume the answer is yes and move on. There is probably a reason why that is, just nobody knows what it is. I will avoid using Factory.
Let me see, if I can understand. Your main problem is that you "have a slow internet connection"; then you say that you "like to use torrents to download large files". How does one thing relate to the other? And I don't understand why not having torrents can impede you from downloading factory. Why would you need to use torrent because your connection is slow? My connection is slow, and precisely because of that, I do not use torrents! I use aria2c instead. And yes, of course, having a slow internet connection, no matter the download method, is one reason not to use a rolling release, or use factory assiduously. It takes me 13 hours to download a DVD at full speed and doing nothing else in the entire house. Realistically, it takes me about two days. So I usually don't use factory till RC time... - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
