    robustness of downloads. It automatically fails over to alternate

-   transferred to improve performance. (#798, #800, #990)
-XXX any other tickets? #809, #287, #447?
- - The command-line now works on 64-bit Windows and now handles
-   non-ASCII command-line arguments and non-ASCII outputs on all
