    You did not have to call it “pirate”. That kind of set the negative tone for the website, and all the comments are looking at it with that view from the start. But it’s a great emoji Lego. I am working on something similar, mainly to make the download faster. I notice when you download these weights it will faster initially but very soon the throughput goes down after sometime.

      Mirror the magnet torrent links at AcademicTorrents if you’d like. They are just a collection of url strings after all.

      Piracy has a positive tone for me. It implies liberating information.

        Aye!

        Pro-democracy Protesters of the Caribbean just doesn&#x27;t have the same ring to it.

      The &quot;pirate&quot; name ensures that no company will buy it out later ;)
