## Features

- Browse through latest linux distro releases

- Download linux distro images via torrents

- Filter releases by distro or torrent file name

- Fetch updates for [ventoy][ventoy]

- Blazingly Fast

- Messy code

- Even more messier code courtesy of `rustfmt` refusing to work

## Usage

> Starting `v0.4.0`, release feeds and ventoy update packages are cached on disk.

```

## Known Issues

## FAQs

1. Wait a minute...couldn't you have just made a simple script to fetch updates? What's the purpose of all this?

    - Well...you wouldn't be enjoying this blazingly fast and feature-packed app then, would you? Haha..ha..hah...
