Hi & welcome ilgello,

What link did you use? Where was this link provided? This info might help people solve the problem if there is one (could have been a bit of server maintenance / temporary fault etc.).

Sorry to be a pain in the a** but since we are talking about links, in the pinned topics there is stuff linking to http://pandorapress.net which I believe is not owned by the community anymore.

Since I am going to read a lot of beginner material in the next few days, I can provide you with some feedback like  missing content/broken links etc.

If you think that could be useful just let me know where you prefer to receive such a feedback.

Many thanks!

The wiki reorganization has messed with a lot of the links I normally paste to help new users. It's a bit frustrating...

Yeah Pandorapress disappeared with Gruso when he slipped away from the community.

While some links in the wiki doesn't work, at least these ones are guaranteed ok:

I've just put in a redirect to that firmware link, since it does appear to be in common use. For now it just takes you to the monster poorly-formatted Angstrom page, but that's a work in progress which can and will be made better.

Yes, why useful material was deleted with no redirect and the dead links are still up on the main is beyond me. Another example of a self-inflicted wound that scares off new customers and discourages owners from trying to solve their own problems. Agreed that it is frustrating.

No useful info was deleted on the wiki. If its not there, its because it belongs somewhere else and was moved. Please help out with doing things or constructive feedback.

Codec repo link has been broken for ages.

I have tried to make the wiki more welcoming to new users, and not the inception tribute it once was.

Hopefully we can do something about the mainsite in the future, but i dont know who holds write permissions to it, probably only ED.
