tinycorelinux.net does not support SSL, Chrome blocks downloads

Many of our mirrors offer https. If you worry about MITM, please download from those.

No, you can't get authentic link of mirror from a hijacked non-https website.

IMO, it's pretty ridiculous that a site serving OS downloads isn't using HTTPS in the letsencrypt era.

Indeed. This unnecessarily makes the website and even the OS itself less reliable.

Is there any reason tinycorelinux.net still isn't https, given that forum.tinycorelinux.net is https?

There's a mirrors page on the Wiki, which uses HTTPS. But as it's a user-contributed wiki, there's no guarantee that the links are "authentic" anyway (same with the user-contributed extensions themselves).

I wish the forums and wiki still allowed plain HTTP connections too (as well as HTTPS).
