Hosting migration

Due to a very high traffic we can’t keep DBeaver downloads on the single host anymore.
Since today (Nov 4 2020) all binaries are located in the CDN cloud (download.dbeaver.com).

For most users it will improve download performance.
However, if you experience any problems with DBeaver binaries download – please let us know.

Note: all old links are working. There is no need to change any configuration related to dbeaver download URLs.

Have fun!
