Hi, it appears to be hanging up when downloading through brew cask, so I tested using 'Download Zip' button in the browser from this page and that is hanging up half way through too. Post holiday glitch I'm sure? K.

brew cask install atom alone seems to work for me

brew tap caskroom/cask leads to the error message posted by kylece123 above
