Those URLs don't work (at least not with the http:// in front, but it's possible this site's rather broken forum software is adding that). Also, HP's FTP site doesn't work if you try to connect with common FTP software like Filezilla.

I was only able to connect and download by using the Linux command line ftp program. Connect to ftp dot hp dot com on port 21 with anonymous as the username and your email address as the password, run pass to switch to passive mode, cd to /pub/calculators/Prime, run binary to switch to binary mode, and run get with the filename of the desired file (run ls for a directory listing).

I will probably add it to my site soon, but I am a bit miffed that the new developers never sent it to me (or even contacted me about it) like Cyrille/Tim used to. With the problems some above have had I am not sure if I should even post it yet anyway, in case there are issues that should be resolved before a general release.

You are correct, the forum software added "http:" . Please remove the http:, I forgot to do a Preview.
With Windows10 this worked in explorer, also with Filezilla. I tested both.

But it is indeed astonishing, that the version file has a wrong name, and a descriptive mail is missing here, very uncommon.
If one of the new companies around HP is involved, then that would be awkward.
