I've been seeding many Foss things for years but for some reason, people keep downloading Ubuntu versions that are more than 3 years old.
Any ideas why there is always someone downloading the ancient stuff, especially Ubuntu?

Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Gotta download at least a few actual Linux ISOs to be a real datahoarder.
People download fake Linux ISO's? What even are those? I have no idea. No idea at all.
Yea I have 100tb of these weird Linux ISOs, I have no idea how they even got there either.
