MetrO on Handango

For a few years, we have redirected the MetrO downloads to Handango on our release notification mails. The main reason was that we worried our server would not be able to handle the traffic. But we realize that downloading from Handango has become a nightmare (what do these guys think they're doing?) and we will change our strategy with the next newsletter.

In the meantime, you may download MetrO from our home page.
