If this gets maliciously high traffic (ie. abusing multiple connections), I will have to shut this down. This is hosted on Azure Block Storage, it's not free, so be kind.

Hi, I'm back again.
If you're here, you're probably aware of the fact that Apple has been allowing users to stay on 14.5 and receive software updates. If you're out of the loop, take a look at this 9To5Mac article. This is called alternate software updates (or it may be shortened to AlternateSU in some places).
