KDEwin is unable to download from your site, possible server issue or misconfiguration?

I’d prefer it taken down.
It’s basically useless.

The src still exists so it's not "gone" or we host it separately with a lot of disclaimers.

Cheers

Would it be worth it to take that link down? It is nice to preserve it for historical reasons, but it is confusing users (we see emails like this one often).

Hi Albert...

Thank you for getting back with me! If I remember correctly, I downloaded the utility from the page linked to below...

https://download.kde.org/stable/kdewin/installer/

Thanks!

Aaron

Is this an issue with the configuration or information on your server and if so, would it be possible to have you guys correct this so I can download and install the KDE apps? I have pasted a copy of the log file below, it case it helps. :-)
