It *does* work for me. Try

We seem to be looping. I have the Python interpreter. I would like the
pythonwin editor. The download link doesn't work on SourceForge. Where
can I get it? If not there, where? If it can't be obtained, then I'll go
to the default editor built into python-2.5.msi.

Trying to break the loop:

The above link works for me. I've tried it numerous times during this
looping. Clicking the link pops up a security warning informing that the
browser is going to enter "https mode". Do you get that pop-up?

When I accept the pop-up, I get a page containing a green rectangle
"button". When I click it, I get another page in which I have to click
download to go to the actual download page.

If this doesn't work for you there must be something wrong with your
configuration.

HTH,

I can easily see the page you refer to, but where's the pythonwin editor?

The editor is only a part of pywin32, which is a handy package to do all
kinds of Windows only stuff with Python. So download and install pywin32
to get the editor and all that other nice stuff.
