download page is down
Hi,
The Velocity download page has an error (although others are working). I'm
not sure where to start digging into this. Any suggestions?
Best,
WILL

There seem to be a couple of things wrong. For starters:
1) The links on the Velocity home page are incorrect. They include a
'binaries' directory that doesn't exist in the path being used. That may be
because the path being used is not using the mirrors, which is bad. Instead,
the home directory should just link to the same page as the Downloads link.
2) The .cgi file isn't working. This is probably because either the line
ends are not Unix line ends, or the file is not executable (or both).
Actually, I checked just now, and it's the former.
Fixing those should fix most, if not all, of the link issues.
