When I went to the URL above, I got the following message: "This IP is being shared among many domains. To view the domain you are looking for, simply enter the domain name in the location bar of your web browser." Thus, I can't confirm the reported activity. James - Can you check to see if the download is still there?
It has given that "This IP is being shared among many>>" message since shortly after I filed this bug and was told to report such sites in http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/legal/fraud-report/index.html instead.
Yes, that is the better way to report those types of problems. Sounds like this bug can be closed.
