This is probably not going to happen but I'm one of those people who seeds torrents because I just have an very high data limit (I only have the connection for the insane speeds).

It's probably too much work. But It would be great it could download from a torrent instead of a mirror so it goes a little easier on those mirrors.

Again. Just a suggestion.

Using aria2c https://aria2.github.io/ in the back end would make this much easier. https://aria2.github.io/

Yeah, ultimately iPXE would need to support the ability to retrieve via torrent and then we could add the ability to flip between direct download or torrent in netboot.xyz.

Closing due to not currently being possible within iPXE.
