Haha, same thing here! I had to dig for a good while before finally giving up and checking the forums. Not too good of a coincidence what with the Slashdot article (unless of course the additional traffic blew the servers).
Whatever the case, hope to see links back up soon!
While the servers are still offline, I found an apparently virus free torrent of the client. It might not be the most recent, but if you have an account you can log in and at least go through the tutorial puzzles.
Ok, whoever is maintaining the site PUT UP SOME DAMN INFORMATION ABOUT DOWNLOAD.
I just wasted 10 minutes looking for the stupid thing.
Also, lots of image links are broken.
There doesn't seem to be a link in your post, or the link is broken. Could you paste in the URL perhaps?
After 2 hours of battling with the alternative link and only getting to 50% (in 20 minutes) and having the download cancel on me it looks like the original download link is up again!
But just in case it goes down again I've made a torrent as I couldn't find one to use when the HTTP links were down.
Link: thepiratebay.org/torrent/5741015
Sorry I couldn't make it clickable, FoldIt wouldn't let me because I haven't played enough!
If you download, please help me seed…
Thank you!

Looks like the thanks I get from The Pirate Bay is a ban and my torrent removed so no one can use it.
As a result I've put it on RapidShare, here's the link:
rapidshare.com/files/411251279/Foldit.exe
If anyone from FoldIt reported the torrent for some reason, and don't want FoldIt uploaded anywhere else let me know and I'll remove the link.
Thanks,
Kitty
I'm glad to see that the comments about finding the download links was addressed promptly, with there now being links right on the main page. Also glad to see all is working well, can't wait to try it out once I get home. :)
