Joomla Download Link not working?

[Loney]

Can't seem to download Joomla been like this for 3+ hrs now

Any alternative links to download can't seem to find any

Thanks

yeah the download area is down....again...rather frustrating that theres no backup

[dbensonjr]

I can't download any version of joomla from the DL page.  I tried every which way.  Do I have to join first, is the server down??

UPDATE....I see this issue was already posted, fell freee to delete my post.  I will wait for the link to be fixed.

Please be patient.
it isn't exactly an easy thing to have a backup server which can handle that type of load (2 TB per month)

but if someone wants to pay for one, I'm sure the core team would be happy to make it even more redundant.

[Loney]

Ah no problem take your time I can imagine it takes alot of work to get it back up

[sphighend]

I meant an alternate link to the intall file, a mirror at least some other site out there that carries the install pack.  So, backup wasnt the correct term, as I definatley understand it would be hard to run a backup server that could take that kind of load.  I will practice more patience  :)  

Does anyone on the Joomla! team by chance have at least a copy of the install file that they could post?  :)

the file is too large.
please PM your email address and i will email you the file (3 MB)

nathaniel could you send the joomla download to [email protected]

Its a blank e-mail address that I use for random stuff so its not a problem it being posted

I can't seem to PM you

We've mirroring a bunch of Joomla and extension builds at http://jext.info/ to help out with the downtime.

Looks like http://jext.info/ has decided to mirror a bunch of Joomla! and component releases to help out.

Be advised, we do not recommend you download any official Joomla! release from non official sites. The risk is yours

It is.  :-)  I'll modify the post to reflect that, sorry.
