not sure. however, I can access some other pages under the "downloads", such as "Themes", "Modules and plugins", " CVS", except for " standard Moodle packages", " Moodle for Mac OS X( for Windows)".

I have just succeeded in reaching the download page by going through Freegate. The download is at 46% as I write with another 45minutes to go! It seems others in China are using Moodle - does anyone have any comment on the accessibility of it to teachers and students? I don't want to go to all the effort of setting it up for our school, only to find that it is later blocked, as our previous bbs was, and as my other overseas hosted websites that I created have been. Very frustrating - I just want to share my math ppt with my students.

Hi

I'm in China as well and I'm having trouble. I'm going back to the UK in 5 weeks and I can download it then. If all goes well I'll be happy to pass you a copy.
