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...

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:

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