Cannot download ThoriumOS from Iraq - a regional issue.

Hi Alex,

I am a huge fan of ThoriumOS and I'm trying to install it. I'm writing to you because I believe there is a regional issue with downloading the file from Iraq.

I have repeatedly failed to download the .zip file from both GitHub and SourceForge. The download fails at random percentages with "Unknown server error" on chrome browser and "PROTOCOL_ERROR" on linux when using wget command.

I have tried downloading on three different computers, on multiple networks in my area, and with a browser VPN. None have worked. I even found another person online with the same issue. We believe our internet service provider (ISP) in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, is blocking or throttling large file transfers.

Would it be possible for you to add a torrent?

Thank you so much for your time and for creating such an amazing operating system.

At the moment of writing this, the download of the latest version (V126.0.6478.251 - 19th) seems to work. Additionally, it isn't blocked by Surfshark VPN. The download speed fluctuates around a megabyte a second, so it will take approximately half an hour.
