@TheQuinbox i just tried to grab this and got a page not found
@shefoof For what? The downloads page? It loads here.
@TheQuinbox yeah it's giving me page not found on any github links
@shefoof weird, doesn't happen here.
@TheQuinbox @shefoof I had the same problem with the link which mentions downloads: somehow the word "sponsor" added itself to that link, and deleting that word in the address bar, then pressing Enter, brought me to a working downloads page.
