Download Gimp here:
(WARNING: The Torrent Version apparently has given some people Anti-Virus warnings and won’t install on some Win10 machines… probably best to use the vanilla download option…) https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
Many People ,on another forum,are reporting
Anti- viral warnings with the Torrent version.
some saying that win 10 wont allow the install by default.
Distrbuting something legal & legitimate, via torrent,
is bad policy as many people Dont have a torrent client
installed,and those who do are, not particularly inspired to discuss it
in a public forum for obvious reasons.
Good to see GIMP getting updated though.
At any rate I already have the perfect competitor to Photoshop CC,after a fashion
it is called Adobe Photoshop CS3 as part of my old CS3 Suite.
Still useful from my Days as a Professional Graphic Designer for print,
installed on my Old intel mac,before the rental scheme business started.
So many people are downloading GIMP 2.10 right now that my download speed was a horrible 40 Kb/s from the main site. Their servers are probably totally overwhelmed, and the bandwidth used costs money - this is a non-profit open source software.
Using Bittorrent and distributing files via Bittorrent is 100% legal as long as you have the permission to download what you are downloading.
Torrent is just a way of getting bits across the internet. As long as you don’t download a copyrighted computer game, software, movie or music album you haven’t paid for, you are not doing anything remotely illegal by using Bittorrent.
I don’t know about the antivirus warnings you are writing about - perhaps someone injected malicious code into one of the torrents.
