As a new(er) user of OOo, I was looking through the options to make schedules for myself and my family. Obviously, there are no built-in templates, so I went into the Download archive in search. While I never found a template for schedules, I did see a couple of other templates I wanted, so I tried. I got a 404 on all[/] attachment attempts. Is there a current break being managed on downloads that I missed somewhere? (SourceForge does not take responsibility, as seen in attachment.)

Thanks for the help, folks. Restoring a little bit of faith in humanity and refreshing my old-person tech affection for chat forums - what a morning.
