So for me there would be only one compromise we could potentially think about:
Ship WPKG with a download-helper script.
I ''vote'' for this compromise. ;-)

Really: someone insert the tag, so seems to me a bad idea
to remove it. So:

This is absolutely clear. That's also a reason why I do not really support the
tag in particular. I think it's just a legacy feature for very

Great idea! But this'll require another external tool, because hash calculation
via WSH is a world of slow.
I've speaked about a script exactly for that.

It is trivial in a CMD script to execute firstly curl/wget to download

Hello,
So maybe we could (optionally) have an external tool handle the "download"
tag - curl or wget are excellent specialised (and free/GPL) tools.
Pros:
* much more robust than the WSH download method
* saves memory
* faster (probably because of the memory savings)
* Support not only for HTTP
Hello,
While wondering why is so slow, i looked around.
The problem with WSH and URL downloads is:
* It's a kludge. That's why it's documented as "should not use"
* It even can crash the CMD-window WPKG runs in.
* It works only with HTTP
* It loads the file completely into memory before dumping
