You can't tell me you've never been to an obscure/old open source project's website with broken download links before...


Well, ofcourse I have but hey, I like it.

Broken download links tell me: This project is abandoned, nobody even cares enough to update the links, stay away, don't waste your time.

This didn't ever happen with google code and the ilk to me, mind you, but only during those desperate "feeling lucky" google searches. Yes the sourceforge links may still work, but who wants a tarball from 2001?


Perhaps someone who would find useful ideas in the source and apply it to their own OSS projects?
