What kind of sane person is going to buy more RAM? Just download it

I see a lot of people saying they shouldn’t be compared, but it still does make sense to do so as most can’t afford both.

Maybe it’s less of an issue these days, but about 10 years ago I tried Usenet and most things I tried to download would give “missing articles” errors (or something along those lines). This was with a paid Usenet account (don’t remember the name).
