The forward1.pl redirect has been fixed(it goes to either osanswers.port5.com or osdev.mega.net.kg depending on the day that you visit). The forward1.pl helps to spread out the bandwidth over the two site because both sites have a bandwidth restriction of 100MB a month.
Where are the broken links to docs.htm(yes it is supposed to be docs.php)?
Bandwidth Piracy is were someone, instead of having the file on their site, uses a direct link to one on someone else's site. That means that the "someone else's site" has to give the bandwidth to the other site(this is a HUGE problem with graphics).
