What happened?

is [PikaOS Linux | PikaOS Linux]

the wrong website for it?
PikaOS Linux | PikaOS Linux

the images don't match the size from from the cdn page and that iso download links page?

GNOME Nvidia Edition 2.866GB

KDE Nvidia Edition 3.162GB

these two below are closer to 4GB in size below I am downloading them now, since the above images, don't boot in rufus or fedora media writer, they seem to be missing the bootloader on the above images. the above images seem to be fake or incomplete.

I am hoping the below ones are correct, since I even tried Universal-USB-Installer-2.0.2.5 which handles the opensuse images just fine, again I am not sure the above website is its offical homepage or not, or if I had fallen today for a fake linux distro home page? I found the below images linked to a github page. as you notice something is not right with the above files, again they seem to be not the full working images, or thats just a mistake or error from the person who had uploaded them if the above website is there homepage.

these images here are slow but the size is bigger than the other website, other website iso I mounted them and they are missing the debian based bootloader files not on images at all.

can someone recommend a better website than https://iso.pika-os.com to download these, like are they on the mega download site or something with a higher download rate, that seems correct for the sizes as they match what a debian size would of been but it says that its going to take 10 hours to 11 hours download it from my Wifi connection at home. I am using Jdownloader 2 download manager, was using free download manager.org from microsoft store before but from the smaller image sized downloads it got a resume not support message, again something is wrong with those files they provided either the website is fake for that distro, as not the offical website, or something else is going on like they uploaded it correctly to iso.pika-os.com and cdn.pika-os.com got bad image uploads whenever they had uploaded them, I don't know which is true, since I haven't used their distro in a long time, so I am not sure I found the correct website this time for it. I don't think this distro even made the list at distrowatch website. I am going to stop my downloads for the bigger sized one until I find a better website or use another linux, it wants to take 1day and 3 hours now to even download that 4GB file, maybe I look at that website that hosts torrent linux distros links, since that is really bad and a waste of my time, I won't download something that takes that long, just to find out it doesn't like my older hardware anyway sort of thing thats bad not sure why it slow down that much. ok, it just went back to 2 hours thats better than a 1 day and 3 hours to complete it.
