[Adium-devl] adiumx.cachefly.net/Adium_1.1.dmg still points to wrong version

[Colin Barrett]

Well, we'd always just link to the Adium_Latest.dmg from the frontpage/ 
download link.

Man, providing direct download links like that is so fucking evil --  
it keeps whoever you're linking to from showing ads or providing  
additional instructions or anything.

Lame.
