Freedif mirror is currently down, but this is not really about that. This is more of a design issue.

When the download link that the site decides to provide to a user is broken, the user's browser (at least Chrome) shows the error screen. When the user goes backward to try the alternative links, the page tries to direct the user to the broken link, and the error screen, again.

@pablovazquez Sorry if you're not the right person to call. Looks like freedif (Singapore) mirror is unavailable for days. Maybe it should be removed from the list until it's back.

Feel free to open a new report in the future. Thanks!
