I tried grabbing this from you earlier, and it didn't work. I just tried again now. Entered captcha correctly, but it still doesn't connect. "Not found" ... although a quick press of Back button on Chrome somehow fixed it. But the .EXE is 11 MB! (Still got debug info?)

Anyways, unless this build is different, it's moot. Links 2.9 has already been released upstream:

So I mirrored it to iBiblio for us:

Not sure why he doesn't .ZIP or UPX the .EXEs though. Not a huge issue, just a waste of bandwidth. Very very minimal testing (under QEMU) shows it to work okay.
