Yes, that's something I'll have to remember (if I can).  But at the
moment, that's the only way I could think of to get to that site.

As of a couple days ago, there was no way to reach that particular link
(to my knowledge).  If you tried 128.32.112.248/win32 in a web browser,
it still resolved to www.gimp.org/win32 - which my DNS couldn't resolve.

Perhaps the new IP address will get distributed to the DNS servers
shortly (if it already hasn't).
