I’ve been collecting a lot of post-war Italian neorealism Linux ISOs and running a DHT indexer has made it pretty easy to find distros that may be out of print.

First I've heard of this DHT indexer concept. Is this bitmagnet? What kind of resources does it require? Thanks for any info you can provide.

Vittorio de Sica's Ladri di biciclette is a Linux ISO I can recommend.
