Client Download links are broken

First, it's a bit odd that there isn't a download link for the client directly on the site's front page.

Secondly, all the download links posted on the sticky thread in this forum are broken (error 404).

also waiting on a working dowload link. I tried finding a torrent for the Mac version but everything is dead.

the fold it servers have been offline for much of the day. Possibly they have disabled the download links on the home page and also via the forums due to the server issues.

the google cache (2:32AM today) of the fold it pages shows the download link on the home page.

I expect they will fix their server issues and then fix the software download links at that time.

Is there any chance that someone maybe still has the client somewhere, and could upload it to a site like megaupload for us to grab it from?

A torrent would be a nice solution too. Then it wouldn't be dependent on any one site.

I understand "server issues", I deal with "server issues" all the time. And I also understand why they would've removed the download links. What I don't understand is why they didn't add one line of HTML code to add a banner, in bold, red letters at the top of the front page which reads: "** DOWNLOAD LINKS HAVE BEEN DISABLED TEMPORARILY DUE TO SERVER ISSUES **". I'm sorry, but I could've updated the front page code in less time than it took me to write this. This is basic, simple stuff guys. I'm just got here because this hit the front page of reddit and apparently the servers couldn't handle the load caused by the flood of new users. This is ridiculous.

It does seem like a real waste of potential new users having no download link with all the press from reddit. Someone really needs to upload their copy or start a torrent… any users out there want to help out?

Count me as another person who wants a torrent after reading about this project on Ars Technica.

Hopefully, someone can create torrents for all three platforms, because I really don't want to use Wine to run the Windows version on Linux… (though I've heard that it works)

Ya, I read a slashdot article about this, thought like omg, I could totally be interested in this, so I found this site. So I dug around…and around, and around some more, and was getting really frustrated with no download link. So I made an account….and damn, you'd think even the welcome email would have a link to download the client? Nope, lol. So I poke my nose in the wiki and find the 404 links. So I head over here to see if someone put up some temp links….guess given the track record of my adventure, that's asking too much.

Is the project scared I will make it go boom or something? lol
