Sorry for this stupid question but I cant find the download link from this plugin: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/jgfeed

Can somebody help me?

Thanks in advance!

I had to pull up the google cache of the page to find it, here's a link:

http://plugins.jquery.com/files/jGFeed.zip

You're not stupid for asking, someone really needs to address this and fast, a plugins site you can't download from is just about completely useless.

If anyone else needs other plugins for now, I recommend finding the page, then gooling cache:urlOfPluginPage to get the cache version in the search results...not sure how long this will work as the caches expire, but it's better than nothing at the moment.

Hi, Nick! Thank you very much!

@Peter - welcome :)

Well, the documentation still appears to be up, so not *completely* useless, though I usually get my documentation from elsewhere too.

@YiJiang - true, though for *many* plugins the documentation and demo is on the homepage anyway. I'm more frustrated that people took the effort to overhaul the plugins site with no real thought on this, it's a **major** oversight...and was better off left alone.

Well, as an alternative, you can grab the file from somewhere else. Like, say here: http://bobcravens.com/demos/RssDemo/index.html

It's only .68kb, so I suppose you guys won't mind if I just post the whole thing here:
