Many thanks for getting in touch with us regarding the above problems
you've been having.

With regards to downloading Neon from Distrowatch.com, we've identified the
cause of that problem on our side and will be working on putting into place
a fix for this.

In the interim, you can always browse to
https://files.kde.org/neon/images/user/ and follow the prompts from there
to download the latest Neon user edition ISO.

I've copied in the KDE e.V. Board who maintain the Paypal accounts and may
be able to provide more insight into this issue.
If you could confirm your country to assist them with their investigation
that would be much appreciated.

(I'd recommend dropping kde-www from further replies on that, as that list
is publicly archived)

I'd suggest getting in touch with the Neon development mailing list at
neon at kde.org regarding this.

Many thanks,
