Hi Julien, The link for the direct download reports back as broken in Chromium, it's downloading via Firefox okay though ??!!
As soon as I have the iso and have md5'd it, I'll get it put onto the server. I recall you said you can host it for 6 days? Is the self-test of the cd now working, or should I update the instructions for the a3. Excellent work, I'm looking forward to finally getting Maverick Lubuntu onto my system :-) Regards, Phill.
