Calibre – New in Calibre 7.0
Using Homebrew Cask for Calibre actually makes the problem worse because the download is consistently very slow for some people. For me, it took around an hour the last time I had it installed on my Mac.

Can someone provide me with an Arc for Big Sur download link?
seems like you might be able to look at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/commits/89f99aad090a5148b0a44eef826f1fc7c0c6aa84/Casks/arc.rb and figure out which version works and plug the version into the download url. would be more ideal if theres a way to do it directly from brew but im not sure how offhand
