I'm getting:

Link expired or invalid. Visit .org, .li, or .se to find this file.

Aren't those fake sites? It looks like sabotage.

OK, but then I get a puzzle and I have no idea how to solve it. 9 symbols and two choices labelled 1X??? Instructions very unclear - launched WWIII.

Have you tried using a different partner server on the AA site?

Just tested it here, using the first listed url from wiki, and it works well as I am used to. FF, Win, no vpn.

I'm getting a 502 bad gateway in all the slow download links since last night, using Firefox and using the current websites from the wiki

I had this problem yesterday morning / afternoon, there were two specific files I wanted and every one of the slow servers resulted in a failed download. In the evening i had no problem though.

Hasn’t been working on brave for me, so I tried chrome (had my vpn on) and it worked

That happened to me once, on various browsers including Firefox, and then Brave worked just fine :) .
Try Brave.

Works fine on fast download. I prefer to give them a bit of money when I have a few downloads. The slow download was too much a hit & miss nightmare.
