It seems the Berkeley website has finally conked out. They are not available anymore. Is there any way to get ised_del.lr ised_del.hr ised_tru.hr ised_exp.hr Thanks

The only copies I have on my hard drive at the moment are ised_del.hr and ised_exp.pr. I may have a couple others lying around in older hard drives, that I could upload somewhere. But it's a lot of data to store, I don't know where this can be archived reliably for the long term.

The better alternative is to stop using these pre-compiled libraries, and switch to using custom star formation histories. The docs show you how to reproduce the del libraries, and should be easy to adapt to exp and tru (let me know if not). This only relies on the SSP libraries, which are still accessible.

I actually found them on an old FAST_v1.0 version on another computer, so no worries about me. I have also compiled the SSPs. Perhaps just update the readme file then. Thanks for answering so fast!

Yes, the documentation needs updating. I'll leave this issue open until I get around to it. Thanks for letting me know!

I have found the working link for pre-compiled fast libraries provided by James Aird: FAST Libraries. I think he updated the link on the original FAST github, but somehow, the updated link there is still not working.
