Chocolatey works best when the packages contain the software it is managing and doesn’t require downloads. However most software in the Windows world requires redistribution rights and when sharing packages publicly (like on the community feed), maintainers may not have those aforementioned rights. Chocolatey understands how to work with that, hence this function. You are not subject to this limitation with internal packages.
