I hadn't understood why you were going to the sourceforge download page rather than the one on the website. I learnt from a new user on IRC on yesterday that the "big" download button on the website was still pointing to the sourceforge page and I've changed it. Of course, this is only a link change; it doesn't change anything in the organization but the hope is that the website's download page will be simpler for new users (although there is still work to do on it). -- Adrien Nader ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Flow-based real-time traffic analytics software.
