Good point, I didn't look at the script. My point about half-downloads is bogus.
Kind of a funny situation. If you look at the script first, you'll notice that it would have been okay for the download to be interrupted and so, assuming everything else is kosher with you, the '| sh' would have been "safe".
And if you don't look at the script first, you'd never know that what you just did was "safe."
