Installation image torrents?

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I'm wgetting the 18.06.7 imagebuilder tarball from the command line right now, and the download is very slow for a while (eventually it speeds up). I assume this is due to the servers being loaded down with people downloading the recent release. I'm using the downloads.openwrt.org URL off the official site.

Are there any torrents available for images so we don't put as much load on the project servers?

I just downloaded a 18.06.7 imagebuilder tarball.
Download took about 15 seconds. Speed was something like 10-15 MB/s.
Servers are not overloaded.

But there are no torrents available.

Perhaps try one of the OpenWrt mirrors?
For comparison, you could also run a speed test such as DSLReports, to rule out a bottleneck in the network.
