Everytime I try to download a map from this site the download link Google Chrome gives me a blank page and this message,

"Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to mirror.pointysoftware.net"

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Our file mirror has stopped responding. We're looking in to it.

We use an external file hosting server to host the actual files (if you notice when you download a map, it goes to mirror.pointysoftware.com) and it went down last night for a few hours. We can't find any reason that it went unresponsive, and this is the first time it's happened, so I'm going to chalk it up to a weird fluke.

The reason we use an external hosting server is because, if you remember about a week before the contest started, our poor little webserver simply could not handle the monumental volume of traffic that we are pushing and it was causing severe load times on the forum and bottlenecking download speeds.
