Hi SNYder,

I was caught by the same thing. Not only that, but I tried downloading the file and it didn't work, so I had to wait a couple days for the webmasters to fix that up...

No idea why it's so out of date...

...but as long as you go to www.firehose.net/nsis often, you won't miss out on much!

I think something about this should be put in the FAQ.

I think the other sites should either be eliminated or changed to just direct a user to the "current" site (if there is a need to a "placeholder" page).

Does it matter? As long as you know which is updated first (firehose) then there is no problem.

Well, it really does matter though because most people will find NSIS through Winamp.

From the Winamp page I went to NSDN and from there chose SuperPiMP.

I had no idea that there was a Firehose page or anything, and when I clicked the link and got a 404, I wasn't too impressed...and there was no NSIS forum back then either...
