\S{faq-the}{Question} Why do the download links point to
\cw{the.earth.li} and not chiark? Has your website been hacked?
We haven't been hacked: links to \cw{the.earth.li} are legit. The
files for released versions of PuTTY are hosted on a different server
from the web pages, for bandwidth reasons.
The download site \cw{the.earth.li} is hosted by

grateful to them!
