While I'm doing this sort of stuff ...
I've tried this evening to download RealPlayer for Linux. You start at
and you find, of course, that the standard version of RealPlayer 11 is for Windows, so you have to click on the link for "Other versions / languages". This then takes you to a page where you can select among various language versions of RealPlayer 10 for Linux.
Selecting "English" has always worked in the past for me. But, this time (and repeatedly) after a mere second or so I get a blank page and "Done" in the status bar, with apparently nothing downloaded.
I'm wondering what this means for RealPlayer for Linux. I just hope they're upgrading it to RealPlayer 11,and this is just the out-time over Christmas/New Year while the transition takes place!
It may just be a server glitch. But I really hope it's not a symptom that RealPlayer for Linux is being discontinued!
You get the same blank result for all the other language versions of RealPlayer for Linux.
But if you go to any of the Mac OS-X versions, you get a positive result. Ditto Windows.
Best wishes to all, Ted.

Poking around via their "site map" link, I found: http://forms.helixcommunity.org/helix/builds/?category=realplay-current
Maybe it is the real thing, may be not...

Wow, Paul! That's the second time tonight you've found the URL[s] behind the URL! It's not clear what "poking around" amounted to, but I doubt it was trivial.
I'll look into that llink tomorrow. At first sight it looks like the real thing (in dozens of versions!).
Worth remebering anyway -- and it also looks really up to date.
Many thanks. I appreciate the effort. Ted.
