Perhaps each link should go instead to a wiki with some sort of download
or links page for a given piece of software. Then if anyone finds a
broken link but hunts down the correct link (or not) they can update the
page accordingly. The same goes for new stuff such as "this updated
version hosted not by the original author and mentioned only on a closed
message board works on ARMini" and suchlike. ;-)
