Where to download Sleepyhead now

Post by Cloudship » Wed Mar 20, 2019 6:52 am

I would like to install and start using sleepyhead. Unfortunately when I go to the normal download page, I am now getting all kinds of virus warnings when trying to download (they are legit warnings, I've already checked). Is there another site/mirro I can download the installer from? I understand it is old and unsupported.

Where did you go and got warnings?

Here
https://sleepyhead.jedimark.net/index2.php
I get no warnings about it

or here
https://www.apneaboard.com/sleepyhead/
I get no warning here either

I've been sending people to your tutorial. Is the first link there ( http://bosborne.freeshell.org/cpaptalk/sleepyhead/ ) still valid?

That one works as well. Bruce did that one back when Mark first blocked his main download page and we wanted to make sure we had working links for newbies to at least download SH....then apneaboard did the same thing and then Mark put his page back up.
So several sources that will work. I don't really care which one someone uses but I am concerned where someone might be going and getting warnings from their security programs. I know the ones I post are safe but I have no idea where people are going when they don't tell us where they went and what security programs are complaining.

This is the link I went to yesterday: https://sleepyhead.jedimark.net/. I tried both the main link and the mirror, which was pointing to a USA mirror at the. I got virus warnings both on my work and home computers. Interesting though, I see the mirror is listed as a different location today when I just opened up the page. I did not get an antivirus warning off of it.

Does the mirror change? If not, could the page have been hijacked? I found it off of a google search.

I just clicked the http://bosborne.freeshell.org/cpaptalk/sleepyhead/ link and that is the page I got, but it was definitely the sleepyhead.jedimark.net site. I am thinking a bad link off of google, maybe, to a malicious site? The http://bosborne.freeshell.org/cpaptalk/sleepyhead/ link does not pop up a virus warning for me either.

PS Virus was kapersky at home (I know, I know...) and Sophos at work.

Sorry, I have no idea how mirrors work or even what they are.
Someone else will have to explain it.

Yes that's mine. 1.1 is not there though due to space limitations.

I just copied Mark's page when we were unsure his site would disappear.
