Fosshub seems to be under attack

Fosshub seems to be under attack and multiple foss software installers seem to have been infected. Just a head up for Kovid

Thanks, I dont know about malware, but the download page links on FossHub are indeed currently not working.

I have removed the download links pointing to FossHub on the calibre download pages. I'll restore them if/when the situation is resolved.

I heard from fosshub, apparently only two projects were targeted -- Classic Shell and Audacity. So hopefully, no calibre users were affected.
