I'm not going to fight against the current on this one but keep in mind
we checksum/verify anything we download, so http vs https doesn't
actually matter as much as people think here.
What we did used to care about more was the load on the server of https
vs http. I'm therefore not convinced about reliability or security.
Cheers,
Richard
