Your terminology is all wonky here…
Downloading is copying a file from the network onto the local device. Installation extracts files to the appropriate directories, makes config changes, etc… “Installed from a local source” doesnt make sense, as any file you would install you would first need to download or pull off of some other media.
News stations will hang out in towers like that too for traffic/weather.

That said, I do think a boutique market will arise from hand crafted works in the wake of all this.
It’s good luck for the first half of your life, then its bad luck the second half
