Description Nick Coleman 2014-05-15 07:27:00 UTC

Clicking the link for Sourceforge (source tarball download) takes you to a sourceforge site which redirects several times through several mirrors to eventually come to a 500 error and the text "Oh snap! We can't process this request."

I've tried different browsers several times over the last few days with the same result.

At the moment I'm stuck on 3.9.2.

BTW, the Slackware www.slacky.eu also does not appear to be hosting a claws-mail package.

Thanks, but we're already well aware of that.
The problem is on sourceforge, not on claws-mail.org, and as we can do nothing about this, and the fact that it is sourceforge's bug not ours, I'm closing this as INVALID.

In case it helps anyone, Gentoo's mirrors have the source tarballs for 3.9.0 through 3.9.3.  They're in the disfiles/ subdirectory of each mirror.

The sha256 hash for the 3.9.3 tarball should be 53aacceab45af6c3ee1f0668956a6e3328d21ac4efcfc0aa8dfd7d7552a62372

Thank you for that.  I will upgrade to 3.9.3 now.
