Today it took about 5 seconds of manual effort to copy the classic FTP URL
from the announce email and use it with wget which then took just under 6
seconds to download it.

So far, two attempts at using the Amazon Cloud web interface have failed.
Clicking on the "Download" button result in the message "Download starting"
but no file appears.  It is probably just Chrome being a PITA but I know
which one currently gets my vote!
