Hi. This sounds like a problem with SourceForge and how it decides which version to serve you (probably something related to browser User-Agent sniffing). I doubt it's something that can be fixed by the Golly maintainers. Fortunately you can find all files for the project under: https://sourceforge.net/projects/golly/files/golly/ The current Linux version is this one: https://sourceforge.net/projects/golly/files/golly/golly-4.2/golly-4.2-gtk-64bit.tar.gz Also, many Linux distributions ship Golly...
