hi,

The paths for the packages have recently changed. Go to http://get.splunk.com for the updated paths.

For example, the current x64 rpm forwarder now sits at http://download.splunk.com/products/universalforwarder/releases/6.3.3/linux/splunkforwarder-6.3.3-f44afce176d0-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm

cool. i was able to put the url together for the 6.3.0 build and able to download it.

was there an announcement recently regarding the url change? because the chef splunk cookbook we (and i am sure other people) use points at the broken url earlier which ended up breaking a lot of autoscale instances ...

I'm not aware of any announcement, remembered some chatter about it though. I'll poke some people about it.
