Linux ISO Mirror
184 distributions, refreshed within 30 minutes of every upstream release. Every image is rsync’d, SHA-256 verified, and repackaged as a verified magnet — no captchas, no popups, no mirrors that lag behind by weeks.

The largest open Linux ISO mirror on the public web.
184 distributions, 6,412 indexed ISOs, every entry rsync’d from upstream and SHA-256 verified before the magnet is published. Filter by family, then pin a version.

How the mirror stays in lockstep.
Four deterministic stages. No CDN cache, no third-party fetcher, no re-encoded copies — the bytes on disk are the upstream bytes, signed and hashable.
-
01
upstream poll
Every 15 minutes a cron worker walks the 184 upstream manifest feeds (releases.ubuntu.com, download.fedoraproject.org, archive.archlinux.org, cdimage.debian.org, and 180 others). When a new ISO appears in a release directory the worker stages its URL, filename, and declared SHA-256 into a queue.
-
02
rsync to falkenstein
Staged URLs are fetched over rsync to a dedicated Hetzner FS-1 storage server in Falkenstein, Germany. We rsync (not HTTP) so the upstream’s own mirror network treats us as a peer — we bypass throttles and get the file in one stream with no caching layer in between.
-
03
sha-256 verify
Once the rsync completes, a worker recomputes SHA-256 on the local copy and compares it byte-for-byte against the manifest entry published by the distribution’s release signing process. Any mismatch halts publication and pages the on-call indexer. We have shipped zero mismatched ISOs since 2019.
-
04
magnet packaging
Verified ISOs are passed through our standard torrent packaging pipeline (the same one that publishes every other entry on BitTorrentShare): a v2-only torrent is generated, indexed for search, and a magnet link with the SHA-256 embedded in the xt parameter is published. The ISO is now discoverable at /linux/ within an average of 1.8 seconds of verification.
Operated from dedicated Hetzner and OVH bare-metal across 4 datacenters (Falkenstein, Strasbourg, Helsinki, Beauharnois). No container orchestration, no managed Kubernetes, no third-party CDN — every byte passes through machines we admin directly.
