Project Guthenberg limits access

Running the function ``speed-type-text` repeatedly showed me a couple of unexpected texts to type:

<h1>404 Not Found</h1><p>File not found.</p>- Peer has closed the GnuTLS connection

HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found

Maybe add code to check if the retrieving words and if not, pick a paragraph from one of the existing text.
Also, what happens is the ``speed-type-text` for the first time without net connection?
Maybe include some short default text in the distribution?

Good points. I definitely need to add some error handling - should be easy to detect anything that doesn't return a 200 OK. I think I'll follow your suggestion. Pick something that's already there or display "connection problem" msg when not.

BTW - if you want to code that up, that'd be welcome too.

I'm getting this repeatedly, unable to run speed-type-text

I find that if I change the gutenberg address to http instead of https, it works.

I'm having the same issue accessing gutenberg,

@hiaw you mean in speed-text.el, it doesn't work that way either for me.

(defvar speed-type--gb-url-format
  "https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/%d/pg%d.txt")

Workaround in emacs.d

(setq speed-type--gb-url-format
