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.

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?  :)

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