  • added torrent download options for compilers and rootfs cache. Enabled by default, with USE_TORRENT="no" it can be disabled
  • direct download option is made with aria2 which can download from multiple sources at once - from all live Armbian mirrors.
  • rootfs is downloaded from our servers by default, can be disabled with ROOT_FS_CREATE_ONLY="force"
  • tested on native build host and under Docker.

…oads by using Aria2. If torrent download fails it proceeds to download from servers. It can download from all mirrors at once, so download speed is dramatically increased. @mzhboy DOWNLOAD_MIRROR parameter is not needed here anymore. The same method is used to download rootfilesystem cache. Based on ideas from here #1364

Why are mirrors.netix.net and mirrors.dotsrc.org accessed via HTTP instead of HTTPS?
