Wow, I was wondering what happened. I was trying get some android engines from his site a few days ago and got a message that downloads (from the links I tried, at least) were disabled because of too much traffic:

Error (509)
This account's public links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled!

Anyway, many thanks to Jim, maybe one day he will resume his excellent contributions.

BTW, is there a cached page, or a trusted site somewhere where his compiles can be found, without searching all over the web piecemeal?

Very sad news.

To Jim (if you are reading this): Thank you for your great contribution to the scene, especially for porting and giving second life to many obscure engines. I hope you will find lot of joy in the real world.

Also, I'd be happy to host a mirror of Jim's site with engine compiles, if it is possible and if no one else is doing that yet.

I want to convey my heartfelt gratitude, if you are reading this by any chance, dear Jim... What you have done over all these years is truly monumental and more than words can thank.
Cheers, and hoping to see you around here as your time permits. Just be here...

Thanks Jim for everything! This is a big loss for many including Scorpio.
Now engine authors can take away -15 elo points from their future versions

Thanks for the link but it said no longer available . Did anyone download the file while it was still available ?. Hope so.

Best,
