Meteor tool stuck when downloading meteor-tool@1.3.2_4

I got this issue now with the meteor-tool@1.4.1_1 on windows. Thanks to this Thread I just disabled my Malware Scanner for that Download. Thanks

edit
It was done 20 minutes later, thanks for the disabled malware Scanner, I suppose.
In an earlier attempt with active scanner the download was taking over an hour, without ever completing.

Was having this issue just now on Ubuntu Linux 16.04.1. meteor update was hanging on “Downloading meteor-tool 1.4.1_2”. Followed the instructions here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/39174861/1405977

Adding “54.192.225.217 warehouse.meteor.com” to my host file fixed the issue.
If your environment is Ubuntu, then open the terminal and paste
sudo -i gedit /etc/hosts
Paste: “54.192.225.217 warehouse.meteor.com” at the end of the file. save and close. Now run your app.

Can someone please address this? I also have concerns about the security of pointing to a random IP address to download meteor related files.
