FYI, I'm in the process of rerunning my own unstable build, but it looks like 
it will still take a few hours...

I have looked at the maint issue. I tried adding "--no-check-certificates", 
but that didn't make any difference. The issue is not the certificate not 
being accepted, on the mingw version of wget it's merely a warning. But for 
some reason wget doesn't get any response from the aquamaniac website. So it 
retries 20 times and then gives up.
To work around this, I have manually downloaded the necessary gwenhywfar and 
aqbanking packages and stored them in the downloads directory for the maint 
build. As we're targeting only one last maint release, that should do.
