If you go to kde-look.org and click the download link for kim4, it does one of 
those "Your download should begin shortly" pages. On that page, it says 
"Download should start in 5 seconds, if not, please <a 
href="http://bouveyron.free.fr/kim/release/kim4-0.9.5.tar.gz">click here</a> 
so i just right-clicked on the Click Here link, copied the link, wgot it just 
to test, and then emailed it to you :-)

Going to http://bouveyron.free.fr/kim/ it does seem like that is its official 
homepage.
