6. You are downloading elementary OS 8.
7. Once finished, you will have a file named elementaryos-8.0-stable.20241122rc.iso
by size 2.5GB. Now proceed to Verify section below.

2. Do like in the Normal method, but click “U” button instead. It is called
“Magnet Link” also known as BitTorrent download method.
3. Browser will ask you to open the link with a specific program > select Open Link.
4. BitTorrent program will ask you location to save the file > select a directory
as you wish > OK > download starting.
5. Once finished, a BitTorrent program will show status “100%” or “seeding” and the file name is elementaryos-8.0-stable.20241122rc.iso by size 2.5GB.
(An example of KTorrent downloading OS 8 by 3GB size and 2MB/s full speed)

2. Run the command line below towards the ISO file:
$ sha256sum elementaryos-8.0-stable.20241122rc.iso

5. Paste into elementary OS 8 official checksum webpage (archive) by using Find (press Ctrl+F):
