It appears that shamrock.de still exists, but indeed there is no (obvious)
link there to download MT anymore. I did forward them your message (via
Contact), so hopefully they will email you directly with a reply.
FYI, I did actually bundle this (but I'm not the author!) in my silly
(old!) RUFFIDEA mini-floppy distro, specifically disk #3:

However, I'm not sure how useful overall the package is. I only very very
lightly used it, and I'm fairly certain it's not for anything but very
simple programs. So it's not equivalent of a Desqview or DR-DOS pre-emptive
multitasker by any means. Thus it's probably not worth playing with very
much, honestly. Also, there's no sources, so you don't even get that joy,
sadly.
If you want some kind of simple multitasking, you can already use
coroutines or similar cooperative threads, even in DOS. Various libs and
examples of such things already exist, e.g. GNU Pth or clwp or protothreads
or SwsMtc. Some languages even support coroutines (or green threads) out of
the box, e.g. Modula-2, Lua, Ruby 1.8, etc. Other languages have simple
bindings (or equivalent functionality), e.g. DX-Forth has MULTI.SCR for
(very) simple swapping between routines.
So, all is not lost, but it's all of limited use. (I'm not trying to be
overly pessimistic here, it's honestly still better than nothing.) As with
anything, you either live with the limitations or try something else
(DOSEMU?).
