Here, you can have some of mine.

 

 

But yeah, get a torrent client and download it. That's what I had to do for Xubuntu.

Just download uTorrent or Tixati or something, they're both legal and torrents (without copyrighted material) are fine.

Depends on your internet speed and the size of Mint.

Xubuntu was 820MB and it took me like 40 minutes to download.

[Flyguygamer]

I have 50/10 internet and the file is 8gb so that means it will take 16 Min right?

It depends on the seeders as well. Just download utorrent, download the torrent and see how long it will take. It shows an eta... it's really not that hard or a big deal.

[Flyguygamer]

It seems to be downloading really fast. Right now it is at 90%

It is downloaded but now says "seeding" What does this mean? How do I get the file that downloaded? @Raining_Pixel @helping @Jaybird

I don't know, I just 'exited' out when it said seeding because I'm a noob at torrents and didn't know what it meant.

Seeding is where you leave your BitTorrent client open after you've finished your download to help distribute it (you distribute the file while downloading, but it's even more helpful if you continue to distribute the full file even after you have finished downloading). Chances are that most of the data you got was from seeds, so help give back to the community! It doesn't require much - µTorrent will continue seeding until the torrent is removed (right click the torrent, then hit Remove). Proper practice is to seed until the ratio of upload:download is at least 1.00.

Don't know what that means but okay...

 

Edit: Nevermind now I know.

You don't know what seeders are? Bless your soul

Edited I only used a torrent client once.

[Flyguygamer]

Now I am getting network errors in everything I try to download. What is going on?

Just cancel the seeding, it's not important.

Wait if you torrent it and its seeding now just go to your downloads folder, it should be there.
