+ <h1>Download libreboot</h1>
+
+ <p>
+ Torrent (magnet) links to releases, and links to third-party HTTP mirrors. Use this page
+ to download libreboot. These are stable releases; for development (unstable) releases,
+ refer back to the home page.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <b>This page isn't actually ready yet. For now, the official download page
+ is at <a href="../docs/release.html">../docs/release.html</a>. On the next release of libreboot after r20150208,
+ release archives will no longer be hosted on the libreboot.org HTTP server. Old releases
+ will be deleted and moved to bittorrent. New releases will also be hosted on bittorrent.</b>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <b>Why bittorrent? As we all know, bittorrent is inherently more efficient than a HTTP server
+ for large files, due to its peer-to-peer distributed nature. Libreboot releases are actually much
+ more efficient now, where ROM images for each machine are separated into their own tar archives.
+ The old 'binary' archive is now named 'utils'. Documentation is also deleted from 'utils' and 'src'
+ and now available in a separate archive. All of this means that the user has a much more streamlined
+ way of getting libreboot releases, with less data to download. Bittorrent will improve this even
+ further, giving users faster download speeds.</b>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <b>Bittorrent is also redundant. The libreboot project will not actually host its own tracker at all,
+ but it will instead use many public trackers and publish the magnet links. The website is also
+ hosted in git, which means that everything is easier to mirror. If libreboot.org is down, you'll
+ still be able to download libreboot so long as you have those magnet links.</b>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Information about these releases can be found under docs/release.html in the libreboot_docs archive
+ or in the git git repository. See <a href="../docs/release.html">../docs/release.html</a>.
