<p>if it's not obvious to you, you don't have the server capacity
to handle a zillion simultaneous downloads from everyone who
suddenly can't use PGP and ALL HAVE TO TRY TO DOWNLOAD THE LATEST
BETA AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE YOU WAIT UNTIL THE BETA EXPIRES TO
PUT UP A NEW VERSION.</p>
<p>two suggestions:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>if you are going to continue doing these expiring betas, put up
the next version a couple days before the beta expires so people
are not all hammering your server at once.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>(and you should do this now - right now - now) put the damn file
on S3 instead of your web server so everyone can get it right
now.</p>
</li>

is mildly amusing at the moment (the Apple-themed box of facial
tissues seems a bit weird, since the 404 identifies as Apache on
Debian, but, hey, whatever).</p>
<p>I don't think pjv's shouting and lecturing is a useful way to
respond, but there's a core truth there. Maybe beta distribution
could at least include a Torrent file? I'd be happy to seed, and
I'm sure many others would as well.</p>
<p>pjv, I am left to wonder how you made use of PGP prior to
GPGTools existing: were you just completely flumoxed by the command
line tools? Is there some reason you can't revert to those
temporarily?</p>
<p>The last time I checked, there are several MUAs in the MacPorts
suite that support PGP/GnuPG integration as well as SSL-encrypted
IMAP, POP, and SMTP connections. (I happen to like Mutt for this.)
I'm sure there are good reasons you'd prefer to work in Mail.app,
but there are viable alternatives in the short term.</p>
<p>Separately, I'm confused about how you can justify such vitriol
aimed at people who are writing and releasing a piece of software
on which you apparently depend, but not charging any money for
their time or even to break even on their bandwidth cost (whether
their servers or via edge networking or "Cloud" services) for you
to download it. That seems really inappropriate to me, as do your
haughty assumptions that you know better than others which web
server makes sense for them to manage well.</p></div>Gabriel Rosenkoettertag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/356648342014-12-31T00:27:09Z2014-12-31T00:27:11ZBeta 4: Download link on homepage returns 404 errro<div><p>Gabriel, I agree with you for the most part, but many of us HAVE
paid for the current non-beta version, advertised as "For OS X
10.10 Yosemite<br>
Compatible back to OS X 10.6".</p>
<p>Since that simply is not the case, for example, once that
version of gpgtools is installed, mail.app crashes if you push the
new message icon - those of us who have paid, in fact paid for a
nice front end to use in lieu of the command line tools, well, we
are dependent on the beta versions.</p>
<p>While there are indeed work arounds, they should not be
necessary, as the beta expiration date is an arbitrarily picked
date. Better to be informed when the next version of the beta is
available and then allow users to download it than to arbitrarily
disable the existing beta in order to upsell purchases in the
future. Or the PAST, as many of us already paid for a GPGTools
package advertised to work with Yosemite.</p>
<p>The current system, where many users simply can't access their
encrypted messages (either due to not being proficient with the
command line options or simply choose not to learn, as a computer
is a secondary tool to their profession, not their profession in
and of itself) builds ill will among the customer base, whether or
not that ill will is justified.</p></div>bobtag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/356648342014-12-31T00:41:01Z2014-12-31T00:41:10ZBeta 4: Download link on homepage returns 404 errro<div><p>bob, I take your point, but I think you're mischaracterizing
