Hi,

I received the 6.14 version notification but I only see the .zip file with source code to download.

Best regards.

I'm not sure what's going on, but v6.14 is available from [404, Invalid URL: http://www.fosshub.com/FreeFileSync.html]

Maybe things are going to run out of https://freefilesync.org/download.php much more from now on.

This is correct, https://freefilesync.org will be the default location to get new versions. Currently FossHub is the primary mirror linked there, but that could change in principle. In any case:

The official FreeFileSync download will always be available via https://freefilesync.org/download.php

Sorry Zenju, that is not correct. For the last three or four versions the SourceForge link has been dead. I have tried it repeatedly in both Firefox and IE, and it has not worked. In principle I prefer it to Fosshub, but my last couple of Fosshub downloads have been trouble free.

Which of my statements do you mean that is not correct? Were there issues with freefilesync.org?

Yes - as mentioned the top FFS download link on https://freefilesync.org/download.php is dead at least for me. The Fosshub link works and has been trouble free recently.

Yes I agree with jonrichco and found this a few downloads back.

The top right download link is purely a link ("https://freefilesync.org/download.php" that recycles to the page the user is already, on which is pointless

Just for the record, I'm not having any problems with https://freefilesync.org/download.php from the links above and the FreeFileSync web site.

Any chance that your security software is causing the problems?

Ah, I understand now what you mean. The link on top of https://freefilesync.org is not dead, but working differently than expected: It' a navigation link that opens the download section containing the current download mirror, fossub: there is no direct download from freefilesync.org right now.
I'll see if I can find a design that is more clear than this.

I've changed the layout a bit; download workflow should be clear now: https://freefilesync.org/
