Not long the music played ... or as OS Elbrus did not become free

A few days ago, some media reported on the possibility of a free download of the Elbrus operating system. Links to the distribution were provided only for x86 architectures, but even in this form, this could be a very important milestone in the development of this operating system.



One of the media headlines: Elbrus became free. Download links

The developer of the line of domestic processors "Elbrus" updated on its website a section on specialized software. The Elbrus OS for standard x86 processors is freely available for download. Soon the developers are planning to open its source code.

Another headline of the same news: Elbrus operating system can already be downloaded!



Yes, it really could be a very important milestone in the development of Elbrus OS. It could be, but unfortunately, it has not yet become (I hope that the key word will be the word for now )

')

How it all ended without starting

The very next day after the publication of the news, the download links stopped working, and the site storage.mcst.ru does not open **. But even when the links to downloading images were working, the speed ranged from 6.08KB / s to 54.0KB / s , and in the comments to the news there were messages “ boot.x86_64.iso - 3.65 GB file, Opera writes that downloading “2 days left ”



Finally, the connection was lost in the afternoon of April 4, i.e. about a day after the publication of the news:



Here are the logs when I tried to download the x64 version of the boot image:
