    Is anyone interested in using torrents to download any fresh iso? If so, I will post the magnet link (of any new version) once I find it.
    Also, how about making svf files that patch the previous version to the latest one? I do not know how to make one, but I am sure luzea's scripts will do it for me :D

    p.s. I prefer torrents to ddl sites.

    I meant that I would do the svf and upload it for the rest of mdl (if there is a demand), because I keep both files for some days, but anyway thanks for doing it for me.
    On the other hand, now that I know the file is ~1gb, I prefer to download the whole iso :p It would take me 2+ hours to upload!

    It is the sqfs file to blame, I extracted it and tried to 7zip it with max everything. No love.

    You can not compress a already compressed file with same algo/settings and expect better performance.
    SmartVersion (or xDelta or similare) will not improve on compressed files.
    Windows ISO images (Win 10 as example) is not compressed.
    ISO as a file is not a compressed file but if files embedded are compressed....then again *nix is not my strong forte.
    But it had same issues with OS X dmg compressed files.
    Deltas are a nightmare byte size.

    To be honest, I have not found pmagic in any torrent site for the last 2-3 versions, so I had to resort to ddl.
