Why does no distro utilise BitTorrent to distribute packages?
Just had this idea pop up in my mind. Instead of relying on volunteers mirroring package repositories all around the world, why not utilise BitTorrent protocol to move at the very least some some load unto the users and thus increase download speeds as well as decrease latency?

Do you have an example? Or is there a distro that does this by default? I'm pretty new to Linux and have never heard of it before
I think they mean the distro iso/zip download
