http://www.digitalmars.com/d/download.html still works fine. The problem 
is that the link for dmd.2.057.zip now points to github instead of 
ftp.digitalmars.com and dvm fails to detect the link then. It's already 
been fixed and I've uploaded precompiled binaries. I didn't do a new 
release (don't know if that was good or not), I was hoping not too many 
people had downloaded it yet. I discovered it basically just after the 
release. I think only one or two people had downloaded the tool before I 
uploaded the fix.
