Update SVN Links
« on: January 10, 2015, 11:41:02 PM »
On the download tab of the main page, the links are 404. I figured out how to get svn because they simply removed the .git, still a good thing to keep them updated though, this seemed like the best section to post this in.

I don't understand why people never see the BOLDED "You will not be able to view these links in your browser! If you want to go to our GitHub page ., click here" from the downloads page.
Probably the same reason we get asked questions that our search box, or even Google using our forums as top results, returns answers to.
I figure laziness and entitlement.
