I could be missing something, but my understanding of the current
situation is that as3httpclientlib does not download large files very well
either, but it does give us freedom from the IE settings on windows. My
understanding is also that most of the big downloads don’t come in over
https, the configs and checksums do.  So, by switching anything that isn’t
tar.gz or .zip to as3httpclientlib the small files should download with
better reliability and not get stuck on IE settings.  The big downloads
won’t get any more reliable, but we can get other Installer changes out
the door and work on big downloads in a future release.

And for sure, I missed how to use these new-fangled acronyms like OTOH
correctly ;-)
