Download time.

That doesn't quite work out.  I would not include something that I 
didn't think would bypass filters long-term and *certainly* wouldn't 
include something so easy to tamper with.  And due to the slowness of 
testers' connection speeds, I wouldn't include something so large.

And the hash verification is manual, but aided by an included hash 
generator.  I feel like downloading Whonix or Tails over Tor is a much 
better option tbh.  Files this large would be great for torrents, but as 
mentioned earlier, I'm not quite sure how the threat model shakes out.

It does, in fact. I originally wanted to include Tails, but early 
testing showed that downloading it was improbable.  Not to belabor the 
point, but you can see on github where I removed the Tails section 
entirely a week ago [1].

Not everything is about money, y'know? =/
