Armbian uses PIRACY TRACKERS to distribute images????????

WOW, I was really unhappy when I saw this, just goes to show you not to trust even projects like ARMBIAN on where they will connect to from your network,  advise before anyone finds themselves in trouble having to explain why some of these connections.....

 

I was downloading Armbian image and then got a warning that I couldn't connect to site called "FOREVER PIRATES" and became concerned...

 

You can read it yourself...

You don't have to trust/use torrents to download Armbian. All images are available via http/s download as well. We cannot do anything against people (ab)using torrent protocol for non-legal things nor can we control where these torrents spread/end up if this is your main concern.

If you are concerned that an images you have downloaded is non-geniune run a check before proceeding with installation: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#download-and-verfication

@dr_toggleswitch If that concerns you, may I suggest to stop using torrents?  It appears you don't have a good understanding how torrents work.
