AFAIK this issue is not related to Indiana - originally the download
system did work properly until it was replaced with a new one which
broke "wget" and now depends on features (https, javascript) which
aren't supported by anything except a web browser.

IMO it would be nice to fix two things:
1. Get "wget" support working again, including the feature to resume
downloads after an IP address change on the client side
2. Post MD5/SHA256 checksums to the _mailinglist_ (e.g. an independet
information source - right now the ISOs and hash sums are located on the
same set of servers which is IMO bad for security)
