Thanks for getting this back online. Prior to the server outage, to get to snapshots and what not, I always went to download.nvaccess.org in my browser and then clicked on Snapshots, but going there now just takes me to NV Access's home page. Is this the intended behavior, or is there another place the snapshots are linked to? Typing in download.nvaccess.org/snapshots or download.nvaccess.org/releases does take me to the correct section. Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to any input you may have. Thanks!

@BTyson You can always grab the latest snapshot with nvda.zip/alpha :). Not exactly what you asked, but it'll get you the latest snapshot.

@menelion @BTyson Sure thing! It's all open source too, written in Rust, because Rust. github.com/trypsynth/nvda_zip

@menelion @TheQuinbox @BTyson The download.nvaccess.org/snapshot… page should be working again - at least it's working for me. Please do let me know if it's not working for you still

@menelion @TheQuinbox That one works, but I used to be able to type just download.nvaccess.org and manually click on Snapshots or Releases, and that's what I'm not able to do anymore. The snapshots and releases pages themselves work fine.

@BTyson @menelion @TheQuinbox What error are you getting? I can go there - download.nvaccess.org/ - and I get a heading "NVDA Files" with links to Releases, snapshots, documentation and symbols.

@menelion @TheQuinbox I'm not getting an error, it seems to be taking me directly to the NV Access home page instead. The only difference is that I didn't put http or https when typing it in.

@BTyson @menelion @TheQuinbox Maybe you have a cached version or something? What if you load in a private window - control+shift+n in Chrome or control+shift+p in Firefox?

@menelion @TheQuinbox That worked. And I couldn't do a hard refresh either because by the time it loaded the page I had already been redirected to nvaccess.org.

@BTyson @menelion What if you flush your DNS cache? I doubt it, but you never know, college has taught me that DNS is weird and unpredictable.

@TheQuinbox @BTyson @menelion We did clear a couple of things this morning which have hopefully helped. No complaints yet in any case

@TheQuinbox @BTyson I love how one of the terrifying use cases for the .zip tld was that it would look like software to idiots, and you're using it as a direct link to download a file.

@cachondo @BTyson Oh, I knew what I was doing when I set this up, I assure you. :D
