Quite honestly, if a site claims to offer a 'patch' download UI but
returns corrupt data back, I would say it is much worse than not
offering the service at all. Perhaps disabling the 'patch' feature
in repositories that enable 'privacy' feature may be a much better
approach.
Good point. I think I'll try that.
Alternatively, we could add 'captcha' to stop crawlers, perhaps?
