Invalid links / infos on the great plugin freeware page
http://thepluginsite.com/resources/freeps.htm#website
a)
http://www.econym.demon.co.uk/plugins/
Invalid link.
The author told me that he deleted the contents due to lack of webspace.
Hmmmm ThePluginSite, might you help Mark by offering a free hosting of the plugins ?
b)
http://www.cybia.co.uk/
**correction**
Please include this description on your page:
You find the plugins under the Digital Photography menu, The Works and Fotomatic.
c)

Link ot the offering site is ok, but site fails to offer proper link for download, i.e. no successful download.
This is a working download offer
http://auparadisdelimage.no-ip.com/Filtres/RENDER/
for the plugin, but its a "no-IP" webserver, so maybe not a stable offer.

At the first visit:

Some hours later, access was ok,

AlienSkin's Xenofex
Old link
http://www.alienskin.com/xenofex/xenofex_main.html
Valid new links
http://www.alienskin.com/xx2/index.html
http://www.alienskin.com/downloads/getmail1.asp
indeed there is no indication, that " 2 of the 16 plugins (Crumple & Stain) work in the demo version", intstead it says "The Xenofex 2 demo is fully functional for 30 days".
I adore your great work by collecting links to FREE Photoshop plugins,
especially the "Macromedia Fireworks FX" tip is hot ,
but if the provider turns from 2/16-fully-functional-forever to 30 days, its time to says good bye ( or open another page with links to all expireing plugins, might be even of commercial interest of the providers ). But maybe you know better than me, of course...

All plugins, also the Brighness plugin, are "demo" plugins which stamp the word "demo" several times on the image , with the current version So please think about removing this offer.
