This is the message I received when I clicked on your screensaver link.....


Yes, attacking spammers is wrong, you know this, you shouldn't be doing it. Your ip address and request have been logged and will be reported to your ISP for further action.

A spokesman for Lycos in Germany told The Register he believed that the tool could generate 3.4MB in traffic on a daily basis. When 10m screensavers are downloaded and used, the numbers quickly add up, to 33TB of 'useless' IP traffic. Seems Lycos may hurt not just spammers.

This link works, you just have to pick international english off the list at the bottom.

It worked for me. I got the "Make Love Not Spam" site and then the download page.
