I’ve looked as far as I can look, but I am pretty certain the connection resets are ipv6 failing and rejected by www.ibiblio.org.
Look below…

Here is some more useful output curl works forcing it to ipv4 but ipv6 addresses are failing.
C:\Users\kersh>curl --ipv4 www.ibiblio.org
C:\Users\kersh>curl --ipv6 www.ibiblio.org
curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection was reset
