If I can get a proper static copy of MDN, I'll make a torrent and share a magnet link here. I know I'm not the only one who wants something like this. I don't think the file sizes will be so bad. My current "build" of the entire site is sitting at 1.36 GiB. (Only a little more than double the size of

2 in the morning is a great time to compare compression algorithms.

0.046 is really mind-blowing. I don’t need a torrent, we’re approaching e-mail attachment file sizes here.
