Thank you to both for your helpful answer's on where to find the file nowadays.  Cheers John

Well so far I haven't actually told were to find them nowadays, only that I have somewhere under my personal backups a local copy of that, which I don't know if I'am permitted and allowed from the OP to share it here.

BUT and that's a big BUT, as the internet usually doesn't forget things easily or at all, there's luckily another way for you to get these resouces.

Namely via ...

• https://web.archive.org/web/*/affinity.graphics*

... check the listed "......affinity.graphics/download/xx" URLs there ...

• https://affinity.graphics/download/1
• https://affinity.graphics/download/5
• https://affinity.graphics/download/6
• https://affinity.graphics/download/7
• https://affinity.graphics/download/15
• https://affinity.graphics/download/18
• https://affinity.graphics/download/19
• ... and so on ...

I've scanned the downloaded zip with Malwarebytes. No Threats, No PUPs, No PUMs. Ditto for the extracted directory. The same goes for a custom scan of the extracted directory by Windows Security. Of course, as always, you mileage may vary.

Obviously I can't comment of the warnings given, but if you want these things, and you're willing to download the zip file, it's a good idea to make your file backups, too. There are posts that users declare that they've lost their downloaded Swatches, Styles, Brushes, Macros, &c., and can't recover them because they've lost the links. Many of the downloads can't be uploaded/shared by someone else because they're private/copyrighted. Save the downloads to a backup drive, and then save them again. That way, you'll never be in here asking, nay, dare I say, begging, for a link, por favor.

Edited to thank Chris for the link.

Edited to add, Maybe not use the cloud for your backups. Or do use the cloud. Good luck with that.

Thanks for that. I don’t see how a site can steal information if you’re simply downloading a file without first submitting an online form, but I thought it worth mentioning that my browser wasn’t happy!

Viewing the site’s security certificate reveals that it’s “Not Trusted” and has an expiry timestamp set to “25/06/2023 20:16:54”; i.e. today, but not until 20:16:54 (presumably UTC).

At the time the browser issues the warning, it has no idea what will happen if it allows the request to complete. And, of course, neither do you.

Mine wasn't either, but I carried on, regardless, downloaded, and scanned. As I said, it worked to my satisfaction. It may not work for others.

Sorry about the certificate warning. The hosting I use didn't renew the cert appropriately from the authority. It has nothing to do with the files being downloaded, just the connection to the web site. I promise I'm not malicious. If I was I'd have nailed everyone from the affinity.graphics site when I had it up.

 

Edit: Fixed. It was actually a problem with wildcard domains. The authority doesn't like them, so I have to specify sub-domains individually.
