Could be me.  Using old laptop that has Motorola CPS on it.  But I'm having trouble getting to Jason's file server even using the link established on Feb 26th. 
Will try from another machine!

Thanks!

PS  Frothing at the mouth wanting to try Aarons Motorola code plug!!!  Thanks Aaron!!!

Mike did you find some magic to log in to the code plug repository? I just get a blank screen (using Firefox in Ubuntu) after the animated "connecting" screen. Page source shows just a few lines of html and nothing interesting.

Connecting to Jason's repository appears to work here. A little bit of patience is requried while the respository connection is estsblished. The first screen is blue background with a connecting.... animation in the middle. After about 10 to 15 seconds, you should get a list of folders. Click the folder name to see the contents.

I tried connecting with success just now using a Galaxytab running Chrome on Android Lollipop in in-private mode, which is a fairly restrictive environment.

On Linux, you can open a bash prompt in a window and run netstat to see what port(s) the process ID of your web browser is trying to open (ports that aren't aren't already established or closing are of interest). The ipchains or iptables should normally allow the traffic in when the browser opens an outbound port (i.e. it allows stateful tracking). ipchains -L or iptables -L will list your rules. A super restrictive SELinux configuration could be getting in the way, but then you probably wouldn't be able to browse anything at all.

I've had success with Chrome under CentOS 6.9 (64 bit). I've never been able to
get ANY variant of Firefox to work on any platform - Windows, Linux or Android.

It does of course kind of work with IE 11.
