Hello, thank you for hard work. As you know one of developers was banned on github because of report and all his work was gone, files were gone. To prevent this it would be better if there would be Offline installer in case something happens to GitHub like Peter Suh did. The only problem that many files still have links to github url if github account will be lost all work will be lost. Thank you in advance.

Downloading files from an unknown source instead of GitHub is not safe.

Sure. That would be a nice addition.

Other than that, I see no reason for someone to take down this repo, as I share nothing copyrighted and I specifically chose not to do so.

Maybe not, but what if something happens with the files, what if updated version has bugs or doesn't install and old versions update to new automatically in redpill and causes the problem to unable to install, what if dsm needs to be installed without internet or no internet environment, what if person just likes specific version of loader and doesn't want to update to new one? For example, I am in the field (Military), and I want to make surveillance but dont want to use internet at all or don't have it at the moment, but I need lan surveillance and need it fast, sometimes need to reinstall it many times and basically people's life is at stake. So I would want to have flash drive and be able to reinstall it without internet or with internet anytime. That are few of possible scenarios. It would really be nice addition for sure to have both variants Online and Offline :)
