Autodock Vina and Autodock GPU Download Links
tldr: download link to vina: 1.2.7 windows
A while ago, I came across a Reddit post with a simple problem. The user went to the official site. Clicked download. Then greeted by this page.
Classic case of server sending wrong Content-Type header. I had already downloaded the file earlier, so I just kept it on Limewire (file-hosting service) and shared the link. They thanked me. All good. But Limewire links expire in a week. So I uploaded and share a new link. Every now and then, somebody would comment they’re having the same problem. And I’d re-upload and share.
Today, I decided to host them here. I’m sure there’s a much simpler fix.
The Issue
Their server is probably sending the Content-Type header as text/plain or some displayable instead of application/octet-stream or application/x-msi so your browser can’t tell if it’s an executable. So the browser tries to open it instead of downloading.
You can try ‘save link as’ to force a download. Or try the assets under v1.2.7 release on github
