One, for some reason hitting the link directly from the website/in the browser took almost an hour to download through chrome, but downloaded much quicker through curl. Despite having a stronger and consistent wifi signal/speed
Non-technically, I'm exploring making having this a standard practice across my eng org and am reluctant to do so for a menu bar utility that is nearly half a gigabyte. I'm concerned I have no idea everything that is in this binary for functionality that is so narrow
