S.W.W. 5.5 route

Firstly I apologise if this is not allowed but as it's freeware I don't think there will be an issue with my question but if there is then I understand.
Unfortunately I had a severe hardware failure a few days back (PSU) which resulted in ALL my drives ceasing to function I mean they're dead dead, even my DVD-ROM drive.
So that was that, 4.5+ Tbs and well over a decade of data and work gone, even my backup (internal unfortunately) is dead.
Most things I can obviously re-acquire however SWW I cannot, here is the link to the website that has only in the last few months expired
http://www.oakwood-shed.co.uk/sww5/sww_route5.html
Would some kind soul be able to point me to another download location or share their copy (if permitted of course)

Hi ReefGB
I don't think this route is available any longer and, if it is, it's clearly not from the old site.
I should also mention that asking other members here to send you copies of routes is unlawful as doing so would be a breach of the owner's copyright. It's also contrary to Section 9 of the UKTS Forum Rules:
9a) Offering to send or requesting that others send you copies of software or commercial add-ons, or the discussion of any form of law breaking activities is not permitted.
9b)Discussion of the use of illegally obtained software, displaying screenshots produced with such software and the uploading of files compiled using such software is not permitted. Any member admitting that they are using such software will be liable to an immediate, 7 day ban, pending further discussion by the moderating team. The temporary ban may be followed by a period of moderated posting, or it may converted to a permanent ban. The severity of the situation will determine the outcome.
In any event, if the problem with your PC is due to a faulty PSU, then I's have thought there's a strong chance that once you replace the PSU, your existing drives will work as normal.

That much I knew, hence linking the dead link in my OP, thanks anyway though.

Like I said if it's not permitted then that's ok, nothing stopping a Moderator removing my thread, I will say however that I'm pretty sure those rules apply to paid content, if the author of the route said anywhere that he absolutely does not want his work distributed anymore then yes that would be a breach of said content creators CCL.
I am not aware as of this moment in time of such a restriction, I believe the author is a member here, he would surely raise his concerns with the continued distribution of one more copy?
Thanks for raising the point though.
In regard to the Hardware issue, no unfortunately, we tried them in my Sons PC they are dead, the 2 HDD's didn't even spool up, we suspect the PSU spiked and fried everything connected via the SATA power cables, it also blew a sizeable chunk (well half a small pea) out of one of the mosfets in my GTX980ti.

I'd just like to make it clear that as a co-producer of the route there's no copyright infringement here.

Hi, I've been looking for this route for some time, having used it a few years back on a previous computer - Hope you don't mind, but I've sent an email to yourself gptech.
Cheers
