I think one should try to test the installation procedures of
downloads on dlang.org. The installation script fails on Os-X
because GPG is not available, please consider using SHA instead
with the fingerprint available from a https url, or use more than
one method.
Also, the download.dlang.org subset is not available as https,
dlang.org itself uses https, but not the
http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2.x/2.089.0/ . traceroute
lists a looooong list of servers, so this could be a potential
issue.
Roadbumps like these are enough to loose new users before they
even got started.
In comparison rust installs flawlessly using: curl --proto
'=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
