Oddity in the wxPython download page

[Dave Angel]

Hi.

When I go to http://wxpython.org/download.php , the page says "The links
below are for the binaries and source for wxPython *2.8.10.1"

*Good, I was trying to upgrade from 2.8.9.2

But when I scan through the page (as I did in April), for Microsoft
Windows, wxPython runtime, Python 2.6, win32-unicode, and click on that
link, I get to page:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxpython/files/

and that page lists only versions up to 2.7.1

If I instead right-click the link and "Copy URL" I get
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.10.1-py26.exe
in the clipboard, and I can paste that into my address bar to download it.

So I've got 2.8.10.1 (sha1: 6602fb05272b7847576128313aacc447ffc107f6),
and am happy. But if there's something wrong with that page, I figured
somebody needed to know.

I'm using Firefox 3.0.11 on Windows XP Sp3.

Someone on IRC mentioned that yesterday. Robin answered the same
question in the thread "Where is wxPython 2.8.x?" It would seem that
SourceForge is migrating its servers and thus, the newest files are
hiding...hopefully they will be done soon.
