Where can I download a wallet since sourceforge is down?

We've temporary put the files on our servers. Check out the downloads page: https://bytecoin.org/downloads/

Brief comment on this, since sourceforge has been the subject of a lot of community rage (nmap pulled its stuff off of sourceforge (details: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2015/q2/194), bitcoin removed lists from sourceforge, etc, etc) because sourceforge would add malware onto repositories. Just one of the back stories on this... http://www.techrepublic.com/article/its-time-to-go-away-sourceforge/
And that's before the latest "tits up" debacle

I like the idea of Bytecoin community taking care of its own files but I would like to see that distributed too, to be a bit more specific by that, what I mean is this...

1) Github it all (source available from github and linking to it off the bytecoin.org downloads page)
https://github.com/amjuarez/bytecoin

2) A harder step perhaps to examine and implement, but one worth taking a look at, is Gittorrenting this
See: http://blog.printf.net/articles/2015/05/29/announcing-gittorrent-a-decentralized-github/

If that could be done it would protect the community even more.

Cheers all
