Except when you suddenly need to, e.g., use the Linux on Laptops page
to find the answer to a thorny hardware-support problem (or whether an
answer exists at all).
When I'm going to be at an install event that isn't going to have
Internet access, I make a point of mirroring in advance a bunch of
sites I think might be needed, bring my machine with me, and offering
the mirrors on a local httpd instance.
