I noticed this problem previously but I never bothered until now to
report it. That is, the /download.html page on freenetproject.org
has a link to source code that rarely can actually be accessed. The
last line of the page links to the source code here: http://freenet.googlecode.com/files/freenet-build01310-source.tar.bz2
and yet it cannot be accessed because it isn't actually there.
After some checking I found that build 1306 is the newest version
available this way. So, for at least 4 releases this (likely auto-
updated) link has been pointing to (a manually updated) file that
hasn't been uploaded, resulting in a lot of responses like my
initial one: "WTC? Why can't I download this!? Are they trying to
hide some CIA call-home code??"
Whatever people might think, this consistently unavailable link only
serves to turn away those who might help improve our code in the
future. Now, how do we keep this from happening again?
This is a particularly unique problem because, unlike with most
projects where the vast majority of normal users only update when
major releases come around every couple months/years, our entire
user-base must update to the newest code something like once a week.
It's easy for everyone else to simply triple-check their links
before publishing, but for us it can get quite tiring to do that
every week.
I don't know what the best solution would be, but I think it's
important that we fix this chronic broken-link syndrome.
