Well it appears that someone not only moved it but updated the setup
program.  Likewise there are no alternate download links and therefore
the version of setup on cnet.com can become stale pretty quickly.

I think the following information may be useful in contacting someone
concerning the download link if anyone wants it removed.

This is the whois data that I got concerning uploads.com (a CNet owned
website.

        Fax- +1.4153442000

The phone number goes to CNet Corporate Headquarters in California and
their hours are M-F 8-5 PST.

I had to do this for amazon.com.  They screwed up and order (it was in
our favor ^_^) and I wanted to speak with someone so that we could
straighten it out.  I got $60 worth of stuff for about $4 in the end.
^_^.  Oh and sorry for the OT story.
