Torrents are common from what I have seen. Offhand, I can think of
Debian <https://www.debian.org/distrib/>, Ubuntu
<https://ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads#bittorrents> and Mint
<https://linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=274> who all offer official torrents.
I've been doing quite a bit of downloading of open source operating
systems recently since I've been testing various OSs and I have to say
that I have commonly found official torrents to be faster overall than
most mirrors.
If you have a torrent client handy (as a random example the Brave
browser includes a torrent client) then torrents can be as easy to use
as HTTP download links.
