Correct, this broadcast provides offline versions of websites and distributes static files.
--We can go up to 50 Mbps, but right now it's 50 kbps; it's just a matter of spending more for bandwidth. The entire Wikipedia HTML download is something like 250 GB. I haven't done the math, but at dial-up speeds, I'm guessing about a week to get the entire encyclopedia. With our own transponder running at 50 Mbps, that we could deliver 500 GB of content per day.
--Yes, Librarian is the software that handles this. What you described is not currently available, but it's on the feature list. https://github.com/Outernet-Project/librarian https://github.com/Outernet-Project/librarian
--Our thinking right now is that new versions of a set will be updated with additional passes of the carousel, but this is definitely a work in progress.
--Hard drives are cheaper and provide greater disk space (and external USB drives would work just fine), but they are also more expensive than an 8 GB jump drive. But that's really a user-defined component; if they want to save more content, they add more storage.
