And I changed the linux download command to not use github even for the script download.

Downloading from the Calibre website works very well for me. I've never had an issue.

Well now, that's interesting. This discussion got me curious, and I decided to update Calibre again to see if the Linux download is any faster than my previous experience. This time, it went through in under a minute, comparable to the Windows download.

The only thing I can figure is that for some reason, each time I tried updating Calibre in the past, I was unlucky and happened to try downloading it on a day when my internet access was slow, either at my ISP or somewhere between the Calibre download site and me. Seems rather unlikely, but hey, stranger things have happened.

I usually download three versions of calibre - Win 64 msi, Win Portable exe, and OSX dmg - serially. I just found my down load manager's log (never knew it kept one) For the last 3 three releases, all three came down at the roughly the same speed, 1.2 to 1.5 MB/second, and each of them took less than a minute to download. I click on the first link in each of the download pages.

I copy the dmg onto a thumb drive and post it to some folks who share a slow, metered, often flaky satellite link. And they're not at the back of beyond Barnaby, they're in your frigging electorate.
