It's the communuty-pclinuxos64-lxqt-2021.10 image. NLUUG is the only 
mirror where the download speeds are decent.

At the other mirror they use (at pclosusers.com), it would have taken an 
hour and a half to download the same 1.8G image (on a 400Mbps 
connection), so the individual behind PCLOS had the images uploaded to 
NLUUG. I do not know where pclosusers.com is located.
