Broken Download Link

I'm trying to download, but keep getting Page Not Found errors in both IE and FF.  Link broken?  Or me?

Hmm.. don't know if something changed or if I just didn't look at the error page, but it now says "Unable to connect" in FF.

I got it.  And untarred to an error of unexpected end of file.  Tried to download again and the server is broken again. 

Maybe Joomla was a poor choice. 

I think I'll go look for someone who can at least manage their servers.

I totally agree, although I don't want anything other then Joomla! (:-*), but please upgrade, software and / or hardware, what if this was a high risk security release  :(

We've mirroring a bunch of Joomla and extension builds at http://jext.info/ to help out with the downtime.  It looks like the JForge is up again now however.

I just wanted to stop back in and say that I did come back and download Joomla for a try.  There really seems to be an unparalleled amount of documentation available, even if of less-than-perfect quality.  And I must say that I'm pleased with the product and the little bit of testing and modifying I've done with it.  I'll eat crow and say that I'm glad I gave it another shot.

I still can't say the same for the Forge itself, but perhaps regulars get used to that sort of thing.  It's a shame, though.  I suspect that issue would drive away several potential users.  As mentioned by another poster, it's certainly not comforting considering that this could happen with a security release.

Don't worry, we have not missed the frustration etc. It is one of the things we as a team are currently addressing. Please be patient with us, a bunch of unpaid volunteers who are doing their best. Thanks,

If you need the files in a hurry, I'm sure many people will provide mirrors as time goes on.  Remember to verify against the officially published MD5 checksums: http://www.joomla.org/content/view/2496/95/
