If you had bothered to read the download page you not only would have known
that it expires but also that this is a *beta* version.  As you obviously
missed this important point I suppose it is easy for you to imagine that you
are not the only person who downloads software without reading what it is
first. In the past this caused problems when people did not figure out they
were running an completely outdated beta version and then started to report
bugs in it that of course were fixed months (or even years) before the
report.  This not only wasted out time, but also their time having to write
the report and dealing with the bugs.  So an expiration date is good for all
sides.

If you want to use POV-Ray, download the latest final version, which at this
moment in time is still 3.1 for the general public.

Hey, guess how the beta archives for Win and Mac end up on the server every
time?  Via a good only modem/ISDN at 38/64 kbit/s upload throughput.  Plus
another download to verify it is really OK...   ;-)
