    What is up with the LibreElec website DL page?

    Been trying to DL the RPi 2 image and it is taking over 60 minutes for a measly 127 MB file that should DL in a few seconds?

    Tried DLing some of the other images and it's the same thing... 50-60 minute wait for a file that should take less than a minute to DL?

    Did you guys forget to pay your internet bill?

    Really doesn't instill any confidence in your product if you can't even DL it.

    I just did a fresh install of LibreELEC on an 8GB SD card for my Raspberry Pi 2.

    After spending a day installing addons, favorites, and configuring everything the way I needed, I wanted to make a full backup image of the card.
    So with my Ubuntu laptop I used gparted to shrink the filesystem partition on the SD card to about 550MB (only 467MB were used).
    Then I used "sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=LibreELEC_7.0.2_with_addons+favorites.img bs=1M count=600" to copy the SD card to an image file.

    I then realized I had a better SD card available (class 10) and copied the new image to that SD card.
    Once copied I used gparted to grow the filesystem partition to the full size of the card.

    The card booted in the Raspberry pi fine, but NONE of my addons or settings were there... it somehow turned into a 'factory' install.

    How did this happen, and how do I fix it without having to manually go through a fresh install of everything all over again? Is there something special about the way LibreELEC is setup that doesn't allow you to make backup images and copy them to other SD cards?
