Mystery solved! It was something I did a while back.
Explanation: Some time ago, when messing about with kindlegen and Kindle Previewer on the PC to see the mobi results (I did this a lot!) - I stopped KP wasting a few seconds auto checking for a more recent version every time KP was started - I did this by updating my firewall to block access to these sites:
kindlepreviewer.s3.amazonaws.com
s3.amazonaws.com
It explains why I cound not download from 's3.amazonaws.com', but downloading from 'kindle.s3.amazonaws.com' was ok.
Apologies to geekmaster wasting a bit of your time.
