> Well, dhh considers torrents outdated (I’m not kidding, check the tweet), so it’s only officially being offered as a single download from a Cloudflare server. Which sounds cool until you’re on a weak-ass connection in constant danger of dropping halfway through the download.

That has nothing to do with bittorrent vs http; use a download manager instead of a browser.

Huh, I used to use those every day about twenty years ago. But stopped for some reason. Faster connection? Maybe.

In the meantime, wget -C works to resume a download without a fancy program or browser extension.

Nit: it's `wget -c` or `curl -C -`
