PLEASE READ THE DOCUMENTATION BEFORE SUBMITTING AN ISSUE

Describe the bug
Installation fails due to inability to create TLS connections to www.piwheels.org. Site seems to be down/flaky, others have noted.
Installation log (attached) unable to get several WHL files from piwheels.org and finally fails with a related python stack dump:

File "/usr/share/python-wheels/urllib3-1.26.5-py2.py3-none-any.whl/urllib3/response.py", line 443, in _error_catcher
raise ReadTimeoutError(self._pool, None, "Read timed out.")
urllib3.exceptions.ReadTimeoutError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.piwheels.org', port=443): Read timed out.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Bullseye 64 bit Raspbian Lite on 32 GB SD card on 8GB RPI4 model B.
2. Install as per https://github.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi/wiki/Installation-Guide
3. Note I am using an HDMI HD monitor connected directly to the RPI4, not SSH.
4. curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi/main/newinstaller.sh | bash

Expected behavior
Successful Install

Additional context
I am a software engineer/developer.

Your build
Bullseye 64 bit Raspbian Lite on 32 GB SD card on 8GB RPI4 model B.

I deleted the aborted birdnet-pi installation, rebooted the RPI4 and installed again.
This time it worked fine and I am up and running.
Note that I did not change ANYTHING else.
So it seems to me the problem is or was:

1. Poor Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz connection (unlikely; I am 20 feet from the router through one interior wall)? Perhaps the installer should have some sort of network confidence test added?
2. Intermittent/poor connection to piwheel.org? Originally I thought this was the case because when I googled for piwheel.org I found such complaints.
3. Rebooting the RPI4 made some upgrades installed by the previous failed installations active and thus made the second installation succeed.
   So I would not be opposed to closing this defect, although someone else may very well hit it.
   Now if I just knew why birdnet-pi is detecting Cuban and Columbian birds in San Diego...

You can change the Species Occurence Frequency Threshold under settings (use lon/lat) and/or try the other model.
