Peer to peer it is.

How does that work?

I'm no expert, but some examples I know of are:

Tribler: a bittorrent-based app with built-in search and some extra security compared to regular bittorrent.

Nicotine+ and similar apps: clients for the Soulseek network, where you download an entire file from a single peer. Also searchable.

There's no need to use a website for either of these.

Very interesting, first I've heard of them. I'd live to hear more, to help diversify my aquisition of Linux isos of course

Peer to peer running on Port 443, the standard port for https, as we do now using stealth vpns and such.
