Thank you for providing the code, this helped a lot as I was trying to find a way to prevent future infections.
I worked with ChatGPT on this one and came up with a block_network.rpy mod, if the game tries to access the internet the action will be blocked and you will get a notification.
Tested it with the downloader code you have provided and with 0x52_URM (automatically checks for updates online), internet access was blocked successfully.
I will attack the mod here and put the code for review
Hmm, good suggestion, too bad it got deprecated.

There are multiple solutions to this problem, your suggestion is a good alternative, but your suggestion also requires users to go install an app, learn how to use it and it only works on windows.
I suggested a drop in solution, which is by no means perfect, I was thinking that we can make a condom for python games, in general, that would work on any OS (Windows, Linux, Mac or Android).
