This is supposed to be the download location, but obviously isn't.
Sputnik did have its flaws, however. It would only authenticate HTTP traffic, leaving no restrictions on any other protocol. It also allowed users free access to the internal LAN. At best, Sputnik was a completly unsecure access point that prohibited only HTTP traffic. An alternative to sputnik could easily be created with hostAP drivers or the windows registry hack I completed in another thread.
Still, it would've been nice if they kept hosting it...
