   Here's a list of collective updates to the Humble Indie Bundle, in case you haven't visited it after the sale (chronologically, too):

   • Download page updated to reflect source code release status
   • Samorost 2 soundtrack download added
   • Gish for Mac updated (yet again)
   • Aquaria and Gish are now open source

   The item that I want to put a bit of emphasis on is the last one. Now all of the developers that vowed to go open source have released their source code. I can't wait till I start digging through Aquaria (which should be soon, extracting the code right now).

   Looking forwards to seeing lots of add ons for both of those games, especially Gish. (though I have tried to make levels myself, I just don't have the patience to ever finish any levels that I start). I'm still waiting for the developers to release gish 2. they said a couple of years ago that it was a definite project. In the mean time I'll have to get their latest game called 'Super Meat Boy' when it's released.

   Had another look today, and they seemed to have changed servers. Instead of using Akamai to serve downloads, they're using serverFFS.

   Thanks again GMMan. What would be the difference?

   As far as the files go, probably not any (though I haven't compared the MD5 checksums with my cached version). However they probably have their own dedicated server for serving downloads rather than having Akamai route things through Amazon AWS. I think there's less of a delay between when you click on the download link and when you start receiving the download.

   Checked their page, and now it officially states that the file download hosting has changed to ServerFFS. (Only visible from download page.)

   Looks like they've moved back to Akamai. I wonder what happened with ServerFFS to make them revert.

    Beginning on the 8th, you can add the Humble Indie Bundle to Steam. Find your email, go to the download page, and the code will be on the top. It includes all five games.

    In regards to hosting, their domain has something to do with netdna.

    (I hope I can get my achievements loaded from my saves without having to redo them all.)
