[Tails-dev] How-to: untorified downloads within Tails

Hi,

we documented with anonym a way to perform untorified download within
Tails.

As it may interest other users (for example to promptly download an
updated Tails ISO), I paste the folowed steps here.


1. Boot Tails and set an administration password in Tails Greeter

2. Start the Unsafe Browser and wait until it shows up

3. Run the following commands in a root terminal:

    mkdir -p /home/amnesia/Persistent/downloads

    mkdir -p /var/lib/unsafe-browser/chroot/home/clearnet/downloads

    chown \
      clearnet:clearnet /var/lib/unsafe-browser/chroot/home/clearnet/downloads

    mount \
      --bind /var/lib/unsafe-browser/chroot/home/clearnet/downloads /home/amnesia/Persistent/downloads

4. When you start a download with the Unsafe Browser, select the
sub-folder `download`.
Your downloads will then appear in $HOME/Persistent/downloads

5. Once your download is done, you have to fix the permissions to make
the files available for the `amnesia` user:

    chmod -Rv 777 /home/amnesia/Persistent/downloads

Please feel free to complete, improve and report security issues.

All credits and many thanks to anonym,
Cheers
