    I think this is a good idea for implementation in Linux Deepin for English users because download from Chinese mirrors is very slow.

    Goal
        To expand on the BitTorrent protocol and application to work effectively with large, constantly updating collections of files, and therefore enable the efficient peer-to-peer downloading of Debian packages from an APT repository.

    Features
        Downloads from peers, increasing the available bandwidth to the user
        Reduces the bandwidth requirements needed to setup a repository of packages
        Seamlessly integrates with the current APT tool
        Automatically falls back to downloading from an HTTP mirror when peers are not available

    Similarly, Chinese access to foreign mirrors is also very slow

    This is not always true. Some mirrors are fast.

    Some people use it, but personally I don't.
    The only condition that I might consider using a VPN service is to watch TV shows provided to specific regions, e.g. shows on Channel 4 are exclusively provided in the UK.
