I've been downloading some MLP-related YouTube videos and channel and saw that for some reason WBM was outputting the gzipped version of

when accessed via plain wget or curl. It should be outputting the plain text like it "always" has done. I was annoyed, confused, and debugging, so I didn't get a WARC of that oddity which isn't the case anymore. I'm kinda sick of Wayback Machine's weirdness. That website is down too often, gets hacked too often, and isn't decentralized. I could just stick those files into $HOME/ so it would work locklessly and locally and only have to depend on those files being there. Was thinking of switching those WBM links in my YT channel downloader with Arweave links, but for now, not going to do that. Here's some of what I downloaded.
What was way more annoying is that I learned the hard way that Brave Browser's WebTorrent extension downloads torrents to memory. At

you can see this warning:
> Privacy Warning: When you click "Start Torrent" Brave will begin downloading pieces of the torrent file from other users and uploading to them in turn. This action will share that you're downloading this file. Others may be able to see what you're downloading and/or determine your public IP address. The download may bypass your proxy settings.
But you see no warning about possible out of memory (OOM) events and subsequent computer freezes, which happened to me. I would've downloaded the 720p version of that "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, part 1" movie, but WebTorrent and exiftool said the bencoding was not completely valid. So I went with the >2GB 1080p version because all the other 720p torrents of that are dead. Guess I got what I deserved for temporarily leeching torrents. So pissed off!
