Nokia Download! nearing EOL?

It has been for quite few weeks now, and I wonder if Nokia is going to fix it or scrap the offering alltogether to free some space for Ovi.

The Nokia Download! for PC application cannot update itself.
I have version 2.0.19.0, the new version is 2.1.11.0 and it's installation files seem to be corrupt on the Nokia's server:









The Nokia Download! on my N95 "Cannot find file" when updating the "N95 Sercices" section.

Anybody else experiencing the same?

It would be no wonder, of course, if Nokia decides to give red light to Download! and give green light to Ovi Store or something (N-Gage for non-gamers of us?)...

Oh and yes, I filed the bug request with Nokia, long time ago.
They seem to have fixed on-the-phone experience, but not the PC app updater.

N.B. "EOL" stands for End Of Life.

I have the same problem. I traced the installation file being run. It's:
C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxx\Application Data\Nokia\Nokia Download!\Temp

Nokia_Download_newUI_2.1.11.0_setup.exe

The file cannot be found online.

There are some links to:

A note says:
During the nine-month beta period, we learned that a browser based service would be more attractive solution than a dedicated PC client.

There may not be even a phone-based client, soon...
