When I try to download on OSX the #dev version as outlined on Tudors blog the download of the Moz2D lib for OSX fails: code tries to #download in class MozLibraryMacInstaller from
http://syrel.ch/download.php?url=https://dl.bintray.com/syrel/Moz2D/osx/development/i386/libMoz2D.dylib which just hangs as it is not receiving a response. Any comments?
