Sandbox

I'm starting a new site with Joomla and have been checking out the extensions.  While I have been able to download several of them, I am still not able to access several others.  One example is the Gallery2 Bridge extension.  When I attempt to download the file, I get the following error message:

Not Found
The requested URL /forgeoffline.html/sf/frs/do/viewSummary/projects.gallery2_bridge/frs was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.37 Server at http://www.joomla.org Port 80

A similar thing happens for several other extensions I'd like to use.  Any suggestions?

This is because the "old" forge is offline. Try http://joomlacode.org.

See this message.
http://www.joomla.org/forgeoffline.html

I tried there as well and the links there are dead too.  The "Extensions" menu tab just kicks you back to the old site: http://extensions.joomla.org/

Try this. The menu you used is like the main menu on this site. This link is on the menu below the header.
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/

Sorry about all of this . . .

now it's giving me a "permission denied" message when I try to access the project.  I have registered, activated the account and logged in.

What project are you trying to access?

Right now, it's mostly the Gallery 2 Bridge that I need.

Can you give me the link you try to access?

Hm. Wont work for me either. Try posting something in the components forum.

Thanks.  Will do.

So did anything ever come of this, this topic linked to one that linked back...  I'd like to be able to get that gallery 2 bridge...
Thanks

I still haven't heard anything else, and don't know where else to go.

Mod note: moving to correct forum.

Durn!  This is enough to make a preacher cuss!  I'm opening a beer and calling it quits for the day.
Thanks

Sorry I cant be f more help.

I think this is a matter that has to be addressed to the component author.  They are able to set permissions to their project and may have made it private.

It also may be a project that was recently migrated and hasn't yet been claimed by the author.
