Haha, in some parts of germany you can do that yourself. on foot. with a zipdisk.
Good ole sneakernet. It's hard to have dropped packets when they're delivered by hand
It’s not. Just drop the storage device in a manhole, or get mugged, or break it in some way. Also when you do so, pretty much all packets are lost and to retransmit you need to go back to the point of origin and make a new copy, assuming you still have the original.
Recovery after a lost packet is pretty awful, I'll give you that
