🚀 Big Update: wget removed, curl standardized, IPv6 ready!

Hey everyone 👋

We’ve just merged a massive PR that replaces all wget and curl -s usage with curl -fsSL across the entire project.

This change aligns with current best practices for:

• 🔐 improved security (error visibility)
• 💡 predictable behavior
• 🌐 future-proofing (including IPv6 support)

---

✨ What changed?

• 🔄 All wget calls are now curl -fsSL or curl -fJL
• 🧠 Smart -o / -O filename handling to avoid broken downloads
• 📦 Migration of inline usages like:
  • bash -c "$(wget ...)" → curl -fsSL ...
  • source /dev/stdin <<< $(wget ...)
• ⚙️ IPv6-ready frontend and backend download endpoints
• 🧹 Full formatting cleanup (install/, misc/, ct/, vm/, etc.)

---

📌 Why we did this

• wget has been inconsistent across some environments
• curl with -fsSL provides a clean, scriptable, and reliable behavior
• Easier to test, debug, and extend

---

🧪 QA & Testing

We spent several hours reviewing and checking every conversion manually. Scripts have been batch-formatted, scanned, and loosely tested for runtime behavior – but:

This PR touches a huge portion of the codebase.

So if something doesn't work or seems off, please tell us.

💬 Feedback welcome!

Please leave a comment in this discussion or on the PR if:

• a script no longer works as expected,
• you spot a broken download,
• or have ideas for improving this even further.

The community’s eyes are always better than one reviewer 😊

Thanks again for your patience and support!
