The link I attempted to follow resulted in a 500 error.

Thanks. I see the error as well, but I'm going to wait for a bit to see if it comes back; if possible, I prefer linking to the main download information page rather than a direct download link. The wayback machine has a snapshot from a couple of weeks ago, so hopefully it hasn't been down for too long.

Ahh... it's so long since I've used anything from SourceForge (and I know it's been undergoing some major revisions by looking at the broken things associated with some of my ancient projects) that I assumed it was just a case of bit-rot in the URL.

In any case, Sourceforge, as a piece of FLOSS infrastructure appears to be unreliable. Perhaps it would be good to document ways round it when it's fallen off a cliff again. ;-)

Catch you at PyCon UK! ;-)

I'm always a bit surprised when I come across projects still using Sourceforge. I guess NSIS has enough tied up in there that it would be a lot of work to move away. I think their website is a Mediawiki instance when it works.

See you in Cardiff :-)
