## What it is
A repository of unmodified macOS ISO disk images with torrent download links and MD5 hashes, created using MIST or manual installer conversion. It targets users who need macOS installers for virtual machines but lack access to a Mac.

## Use cases
- download macOS ISO for a Proxmox VM
- get macOS installer without a Mac
- verify macOS ISO integrity with MD5 hashes
- set up a macOS virtual machine on Linux
- torrent older Mac OS X versions like Lion or Yosemite

## When to choose
- you need pre-built macOS ISOs for VMs and have no Mac to create them
- you want torrent-based downloads with checksums for verification

## When to avoid
- you need the latest macOS versions, since updates are stalled with no ETA
- you require a maintained or licensed distribution of Apple software
- you need direct HTTP downloads rather than torrents

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: maintenance
- function: file-system, developer-tools
- domain: apple-ecosystem, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: macos-isos, torrents, virtualization, proxmox, vm-images, checksums, macos
