Description (last modified by jmroot (Joshua Root))

after putting in name, address & e-mail on landing page (http://darwinports dot com/download/), and then clicking download button, takes you to download page (http://www.portcode dot com/darwinports/DarwinPorts-1.7.0-10.5-Leopard.dmg) where it then tells you it cannot make a connection to the server, download never happens. i've tried this several times all day today (wednesday, 04-Aug-2010), in both google chrome & firefox, same result, every time.

darwinports dot com isn't the website for macports. I don't know, but I might guess that it is now being run by some spammers looking to harvest email addresses or worse someone trying to get people to install malware. Visit http://www.macports.org/

(Is this even a real bug report? Or an attempt to gain search engine cred by creating links to the other site... hmm.)

Replying to sewebster@…: ok, thanx for letting me know. i went to "darwin ports" as i was directed there by the drizzle.org site as being the first step of getting that installed on a mac os x system. will contact drizzle folk & let them know via their wiki discussions —> http://drizzle.org/wiki/Talk:Compiling/MacOS_X

thank you again for the info. only sorry i can't take back having put in an e-mail address to them several times in trying to make it work. le sigh. oh well...

You might be interested in this, which I just found: http://trac.macports.org/wiki/DarwinPortsFraud

Anyway, someone with commit access can close this bug.

Also, it might be best not to post my full address on the web such as at the drizzle site...

Resolution: invalid
Status: newclosed

Invalid bug, as it's already been made clear. For start-up instructions on installing MacPorts, please always refer to www.macports.org/install.php and always steer clear of fraudulent websites, thank you! Closing ticket.
