In the case of this particular app, I have to agree. The user

will find this in the default download location. I would think, as
expected.
I'm not sure why it should be expected. Most of the third-party
products whose disk images I download do not use Internet-enabled
disk images, so I expect to see a disk image file I can mount,
examine its contents, unmount, mount again, and so on.
But, "Mungo only pawn in game of life", I am glad to listen to
arguments telling me that internet enabled images are a work of the
devil. So, if you wish to expand, please do.
I won't go so far as to call them the work of the devil, but I don't
want one for my product and I don't expect or want them when I
download other products.

PLEASE don't use "Internet-enabled" disk images. Nothing is more
