The download server will not accept requests, possibly as its also the server thats experiencing issues for updates.

Well, this is really a different issue from the one in that thread. He's referring to direct HTTP client downloads, rather than game updates.

I think the bittorrent download should be available, but we'll also get a direct HTTP download online tonight. The machine previously hosting that did not come back from the outage and experienced some kind of disk failure.

We just need to move some files and change the URLs to another host.

Ok, the direct HTTP downloads are now updated with new URLs to a different server (which is online).

The fast torrent seed is offline, although the slow torrent seed should still be up. I'll look at reviving that sometime soon.
