Typical of anything connected with Mr Dotcom

 

@NickAu

Working fine for me presently. Not sure if Mega likes me, or dislikes you. I've added an alternative link to original post.

Got it.

Nice tool!

 

One can also install 'HTTPS Everywhere' in their browsers & it'll seek HTTPS sites where possible. Raw got me on the extension, which is for security.

I'm hopeful that this is in line with the Topic, being that HTTPS is the issue at hand.

Https Finder 0.2 Testing:

I needed to generate a list for Ubuntu 16.04 yesterday, and discovered that Https Finder was no longer working correctly. Canonical must have changed something. I decided to create an updated release of Https Finder so I could generate a list. I ended up getting a bit carried away, adding several new features, as well as a non-interactive interface.

Description:
An open-source bash script set for GNU/Linux that checks to see which official 3rd-party mirrors offer a specified Ubuntu ISO release over HTTPS. Please keep in mind that it only checks for HTTPS, it assumes but doesn't check that the files are present!

Changes:
- Old version no longer working properly, and would generate malformed lists. This version has been updated to work with the latests lists (tested agains Ubuntu 16.04).
- Updated interfaces to have both interactive and non-interactive modes.
- Add support for more types of items in the list instead of just SHA256SUM and ISO, also the ability to choose which items. By default all will be outputted!
- Wget output no longer displayed.
- Added support for displaying progress. The default is yes, but you can turn it off.
