No. This media was something of an experiment or proof of concept by
ambassadors. So it isn't to be considered quite the same way other
distributed media is yet at least. And while we have always made it
available to download it really wasn't intended to be something end
users download.

Can you provide a link to the broken media? I haven't heard of this
issue with the media I think you are talking about above.

If you are talking about the main default live desktop media I can
only guess that while it may be failing for you it must be working for
most people or I would have heard more about this before now.

There is a problem with the installation media that ambassadors use
for pressed media and since we didn't intend to press more of it after
fixing the problem infrastructure just made it so people could not
download it. One could argue we should have replaced it with fixed
media but since this wasn't a primary download I really don't think it
matters much at this point. We will be more careful in the future so
that doesn't happen again.
