The site where BAP downloads QSSTV is down. Thanks Bruce, W1BAW, for catching the issue.

A bit more digging netted the following info:

Do you have a Telenet (Business) internet subscription and your website is no longer available? This is because we took the web space that is included with or linked to your Telenet (Business) internet offline on September 1, 2022. We did this because there are now many new, more secure and more advanced options for managing web space.

We previously informed you about the termination by e-mail or by letter and via your statement or invoice. Missed info? You can read everything about the termination of your web space on our Customer Service. You will also discover how to download your old website files before they disappear permanently and what alternative solutions there are.

The new site needs to be located or QSSTV needs to be removed from BAP until this is resolved.

Things over there are spicy. I think a copy is on a package might need to resort to for now. I do think archives should be grabbed just in case.

I hope we hear from him soon and the site is back - all the best
