I was wondering "How to preserve files downloaded by install-tl" on
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/175380/how-to-preserve-files-downloaded-by-install-tl.
And your reply answers the question or is worth a comment on that at
least. If you have an account there, you might want to answer the
question, if not, I'd like to ask your permission to cite you :)

All the best,
Karl
