Problem with AfterDawn's download servers fixed We had a severe problem with our software download section for the past 10 days that caused good portion of downloads from our site to fail.
We have finally identified the culprit and have fixed the problem. It was simply due a human error - a bug in the code that wasn't noticed and managed to slip through our testing process.

Apologies for the inconvenience this might have caused.

Our software database that we've been building for the past 19 years is available at https://www.afterdawn.com/software/ and has served more than quarter of a billion software downloads since 1999.
