Hi all,

Just last evening, I was downloading Filelight on a Windows machine. Due to the 
machine being rather ancient and slow, I ended up going for the direct binary 
download instead of the Microsoft Store download. The apps.kde.org page had me 
download from a Binary Factory link. As of right now, that link is still on 
https://apps.kde.org/filelight/, but it obviously doesn't work. I haven't 
checked the apps.kde.org source, but it seems that perhaps those URLs are 
automatically generated for each app, so it should be trivial to change or 
remove them.

Are there other places that need this URL replaced as well? 
https://lxr.kde.org/search?%21v=kf6-qt6&_filestring=&_string=binary-factory.kde.org
 shows that there are a number of READMEs that still link to Binary Factory, 
and Krita has some CI stuff that still references binary-factory.kde.org, but I 
have a sneaking suspicion that there are binary-factory.kde.org links in KDE 
webpages and other repositories that aren't indexed by lxr.kde.org.
