Thanks for the report. The download link is fixed. Regarding the Fedora 14 package: This distribution has no upstream support anymore (so no security fixes!), therefore I see no reason to provide VirtualBox packages for it. If you really need to use that distribution then use the universal (.run) installer. But be aware of the security risks!

Tyvm, i am fully aware of risks, depends on what's running though ;)
The "new style" Fedora / Gnomeshell isn't my cup-of-tea (yet) and here VirtualBox kicks in...I (and 'some' more I ve understood) use F14 host for testing latest Fedora releases as guests, since F15 and greater are far from stable and still have many (graphic and gnomeshell amongst others) issues. F is getting there, but has not yet arrived. Providing F14 packages by VB till those issues are realy solved would be a great help, imho.

Since VB 4.1.22 is the last version available for Fedora 14 (please, please make VB 4.2.0 still available for Fedora 14, many user have this Fedora version on their machines for obvious reasons), repair is needed.
