ok, interesting to know v2 is coming. Some good news about download problems is I have found a solution:
use multcloud.com service to download the file directly into google drive, and then download from google drive to local machine. I think something about s3.amazonaws doesn't play well with slow internet speeds, and using remote downloading in this way bypasses the timeout because they have such high speed internet for their cloud service. ^_^
I will be following for v2, looking forward to that
