I saw an options on the bvm to install bit from a file -f but where can I dowload it first ?

you can run bvm list -r to see the url's of different versions.
you can also pass --os and --arch if you want to see URLs for specific os/arch but you run it from your own machine

also want to let you know that I'm working on bundling bit and hope to make it around 50mb (maybe even less) instead of 1gb that it's now.
but it's a very complicated task so it will take some time to complete.
once done, it will take seconds to download and extract.

Thanks for those precision !

Maybe a quick win could be to add higher compression to the tar pointed ?
Just tried myself so compress it with a higher level, we gain much and it's not taking too much more time to uncompress
