#62 Info-zip.org site is down

The sourceforge page contains download links that are also not working. Currently, there is no way to download zip / unzip for Windows. What I mean is, none of these links work:

tug.ctan.org (US) [FROZEN]
ftp.tex.ac.uk (UK) [FROZEN]
ftp.dante.de (Germany) [FROZEN]

I tried to compile it by my own using Visual Studio 2019 but haven't managed to do it. I cloned some mirror repository in Github and tried to use Actions to build it automatically, and almost got it. I think that could be a good course of action (CI/CD) but I don't know if Sourceforge has automatic builds yet.

Anyways, I believe this project is too beautiful and valuable to be left forgotten in this corner of the net.

The SourceForge version of the home page is up at http://infozip.sourceforge.net/. We'll need to look at what happened to the info-zip.org version.

Yeah, things are getting old. We plan to get things cleaned up at some point, hopefully soon.

The main site info-zip.org is down.

Also, there is a long overdue need to modernize this project, it's just astounding how difficult is to download the software to use it.
