  > can we stop being lame and complaining about https certs of something you're not downloading binaries or submitting information This is a post about encryption, a site and program for encryption. It also has file hashes and downloads (zips) on it; so, that meets some of your qualifications.

    if you are dowloading those binaries than you are worse than the admins of that site.

  Nope. The more traffic that is encrypted the better. Protects privacy, ensures you're connecting to the right source, and helps prevent ISPs from throttling/caching based on the content.

  Because the public doesn't know to make that distinction. I'd rather a site be served plain than retired HTTPS.
