  I can't find that link anywhere on his site. Where did you find the link for that?
  The only 'download' link I can find takes one to the kdeapps site.

  What I mean about 'changing' is, if you go to the kdeapps site for kim4 and scroll
  down to the download link and hover on it, it will give you the URL it's going to
  go to. If you 'reload' the page, the URL has changed, so any time one goes to that
  download link, it's not going to be the same for everyone else.

  I'm trying to figure out how to get one solid download URL that won't change and
  will be there for a while. His personal website has been around a while and no
  telling how much longer it will be there.
