For easier searching I prefer manuals as single page instead of one file per section. So that often are huge HTML files. ``` $ wget -qO- https://orgmode.org/org.html | wc -c 2151649instead of completely powering it down because that way $ wget -qO- https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/elisp.html | wc -c 8766578 $ wget -qO- https://gambitscheme.org/latest/manual | wc -c 1975726 ``` Having them for hours or sometimes even months in an open browser, loading time is irrelevant in this use case. ``` $ uptime 12:34:33 up 116 days, 17:38, 41 users, load average: 0.36, 0.51, 0.47 ``` I typically send this box into suspend or hibernating when I don't need it to keep my workflow "instant-resumeable".
The limit was in case you are concerned with network usage when browsing, and only what should be the default limit when you enable it (opt-in).
The user should have the ability to choose an arbitrary limit in any case, this is only in case there was some consensus on what would be a reasonable default limit (there is no consensus).
Also, it should be posible to download the rest of the page if requested.
