Comment 11 for bug 1464064

BTW, I actually disagree with the opinion that "https everywhere" is a good thing. Cacheability goes down the drain and if done well that's what could really make the connectivity in a place like this bearable.

What do we get instead? Edge nodes for facebook and other junk. Facebook is already free to browse here while you have to pay for the general internet. That trend is unfortunately very likely to continue.

So, please offer the choice of https mirrors but generally it would be better if most people continue to download over non-encrypted connections.
