As part of this transition, all big downloads will move to a new website called download.alandfaraway.org
I think I have updated most of the links in the forum but you'll also have to update your worldgate settings as follows:
in the worldgate configuration for ALFA please change
www.alandfaraway.org with download.alandfaraway.org
Please send me PMs in case of problems.

We are switching back to
www.alandfaraway.org
It will take a little time to see this all over the world but it should be okay soon.

Still one minor glitch with the wiki re-directing to zic.alandfaraway.info but we are working on it.
You just have to login again and the wiki works.
All thanks go to Zicada for providing this new host and working on the change over.

It should be a problem with file/directory rights.
I hope I have solved it. Can you try uploading again ?
Edit: works for me.

Applicant EtherealCooky had a problem with loading he site after the transfer. He stated he could not load the main site, presumably the index site.
[23:41] <EtherealCookie> A blank page with numbers
[23:41] <EtherealCookie> Copy pasting the numbers gives me this: StatCounter - Free Web Tracker and Counter
[23:42] <EtherealCookie> Oo, they're at the corner, the numbers are actually 00000865
Clearing the temporary internet files fixed this.

This was a problem with the DNS updating.
When you change the IP address pointed by a machine name (here:
www.alandfaraway.org) it takes some time to see this all around the world because names and IP addresses are cached everywhere.
It should be okay now as the maximum time for such an update is 24 hours (well actually some even say 48 hours but usually it's way faster than that).

Well done Hialmar.
An thanks Zic. Fast host, as always.
A noticeable improvement from Australian ISPs.
