I’m all for it as it would improve on verification of test images. See https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-dev/2016-January/010071.html.

Well, mostly to whatever the users were referring to. It seems it doesn’t work so well in the Tor Browser, for instance. Try starting a download, then kill the circuit, and notice that you cannot resume the download (at least AFAICT).

Interesting. If it were the only argument we had in favour of the torrents, then it would be interesting to know if it’s a problem that’s specific to Tor Browser, or to the way we handle network disconnection/reconnection in Tails by restarting Tor, or to “modern browsers” in general. But apparently we have other good arguments so let’s not waste time on this :)
