If you have installed an internet card in your computer you can access the "real world" internet.

One example on what you could do:

wget 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mpmxyz/ocprograms/master/home/bin/tar.lua'

This will download the file tar.lua. It is a small program I wrote to interact with real world *.tar archives.

Note: On some OpenComputers versions you had to install internet related programs separately using an "internet disk".
