i wish they would too, 

considering that some new people still arrive at koha.org first then hit these bad links, 
it makes the entire koha project look incompetent

this is the exact reason why we fought so hard to restore editing ability back to the koha website

will someone at liblime/ptfs take responsibility for the broken/incorrect content at koha.org, please?!?


FYI: the liblime/ptfs file is corrupt (the correct file size is 30 meg, not 5 meg)

$ wget http://download.koha-community.org/koha-3.02.00.tar.gz
