Downloading images from unofficial sources is not recommended.  As you found with the corrupt download and 404s, they often just don't work.  You also run the risk of tampering or malware infected images if you choose not to use official mirror sites.

So you recommend just.. just waiting until your server comes back on instead of downloading it from my site?  We have had 100% uptime since July 2011.  Since these are pretty big files, and the upload is of a limited speed, it is plausible that the download could get messed up in transit, but that can happen to any server.  If it doesn't make it... Just try again.

I took the liberty to download it from my server once just now and from all your mirrors, and the MD5 hashes were all identical.  

Code:
bamt_v0.5c.zip

1 - bitcointrading - 1DA3D70D0C4A1C4F44F6870772AAD26D
2 - backpack ------- 1DA3D70D0C4A1C4F44F6870772AAD26D
3 - biomancer ------ 1DA3D70D0C4A1C4F44F6870772AAD26D
4 - macdonaldbeats - 1DA3D70D0C4A1C4F44F6870772AAD26D

If someone gets a corrupt download, the issue is on their end.  If the image was corrupt, you would have seen more than one person say so in the periods of bamter.org downtime.  I always test files I upload.

I'm doing you and the community a favour by offering my bandwidth.  

If anyone happens to be looking for the other versions of BAMT for whatever reason, here you go:

edit: I added a mirror!  This is the murdercapitals server, the one that my text rpg is on, it has lots of extra bandwidth.  The bitcointrading server is 1/3 of the speed of the murdercapitals server for big files like this.

I warn you though, don't ask for help for any version other than 0.5c, these images are not supported.
