I'd say yes, use the IA link.

It's better to have the DOWNLOAD hosted somewhere besides
slackware.uk, if possible, because slackware.uk is also where the SBo
source archive is hosted.

While you're at it, you could use the IA copy of the site as HOMEPAGE,
since the current version of the page doesn't mention xbmbrowser
at all.
