I've uploaded the file to the LM's webspace if you want to get them from there:

Myrddraal, it's probably not a good idea to hotlink the TWC download mirror. I'd suggest linking the download page itself.

OK, why not?

I'm not affiliated with TWC in any way, but I know that the general rule is that hotlinking is not good. It takes advantage of the the bandwidth of the content provider, without giving them any recognition. If linked to the download page, then the person knows that this is a TWC forum, they are the ones hosting the file, etc.

It's just like, why is it wrong to hotlink to pictures hosted by other websites? The same principle.

Or, put more simply: they don't get money from ads if people don't go to their pages, and they're the ones paying for us to be able to download.
