Official download link is broken?

I'm trying to download the 64-bit kde direct download live cd from this page

http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-all

but i think the link is broken? Is this because it's a beta link?

Thanks for the link, but i still get the same result. I click on the link at the bottom right of this page (kde live 64bit direct download), and i only get a page that says...

This web page is not found.

No web page was found for the web address: ftp://ftp.ukc.mirrorservice.org/site...4-Live-KDE.iso

I'm in the UK (and i think the link on that page takes you to a local server?)

No, but i have tried copying the link posted on Distrowatch and copying and pasting that in to the address bar, which worked. Just clicking on that link (as well as the link on the fedora download page) results in the error message i posted above.

So it's downloading now and all is fine, but i think there is some sort of redirection going on that takes me to a broken link. I'm using google chrome if that helkps at all.

Yes, after looking at the situation, i also think it must be a google chrome bug. The link in the error message that it displays, can be copied and pasted in to another google chrome tab, and it will download just fine. The bug is when i simply left click the link in either the fedora page or the distrowatch page. Thanks.

Yes, it was a one click bug report (!) - a bit like the recent microsoft windows system of reporting crashes. Anyway, i think i sent a screenshot of my error page.
