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?

    I assume it’s not human driven. Maybe some automated archiver? Some bot looking for proof of pirated content, and just downloads everything it finds?

      Right, that sounds like a good guess. That makes sense, bots are everywhere.
