Nowdays it seems Sourceforge has blocked Flashget. I can't download any files from Sourceforge. Any ideas how to bypass this?

BTW can somebody please point me to alternative download link of Xampp 1.6.0a . Sourceforge link doesn't download via Firefox and I don't wanna try browser download option. Tried on google for some alternate links but couldn't find one.

It FlashGet is not really working with SF then use another download manager. You will find a bunch of such software in GREAT DIGIT CD/DVDs :p :D :rolleyes:

Get type of installer and mirror you want for XAMPP on Windows from here - *www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html

Tried FreshDownload but Sourceforge servers don't support resume ability from past 1 month or so. And You again gave the default Sourceforge link of Xampp. Please check before posting.
