    Aliens connect their nanoprobes to your the main character’s PC and download the Internet so they can judge humanity.

    Even if they had magic tech to do this, they’re still constrained by the MC’s shitty 10Mbit DSL. Somehow they can download everything humanity has ever done in 5 seconds, and all while pictures of it are showing up on the monitor for no good reason.

      Not necessarily, if they have “magic tech”, they could be uploading a virus that rapidly spreads across the entire internet, making every machine broadcast its data through electromagnetic waves or something like that, picking up all those transmitions with said magic tech.

      It would still take longer just to read the data off off all the storage, but theoretically not DSL
