I've just added an .htaccess temporary redirect on: http://downloads.mixxx.org/mixxx-1.7.2/mixxx-1.7.2-win32.exe
It now goes to a page with a BitTorrent magnet link and some crappy RapidShare and Megaupload links. If you've got bandwidth to spare, please seed our torrent! If you've got even more bandwidth to spare, or you have ideas on how we can affordably manage 2 TB of data transfer per month, please let me know. :) I've been really caught off-guard by this, I really don't know what the permanent solution is....
