When I try to download the file I just repeatedly get the message "The network connection was lost"

Installed Firefox and managed to download the file and properly and install it. It all seems to be up and running so many thanks to everyone for their help. Much appreciated.

@bamboohouses: You're right, Safari doesn't work with the download page, I use that browser only when there are problems with web pages I visit, now it's vice versa.

Very interesting. I tried the download on my mac mini with Ventura in Safari and sure enough it fails right at the end. Firefox worked fine. I'll see if I can try and figure out what's going on with Safari.

Hey @willus, would you consider to create a Homebrew formula for k2pdfopt? I use k2pdfopt as a dependency in my Alfred workflow but I can't distribute it in Alfred Gallery as the binary is not notarized and signed with a trusted certificate. An alternative would be installing k2pdfopt via Homebrew. This CLI is maintained for a long time and I think it's popular enough to Homebrew Core.
