The hosting site is seriously flakey, but the download of both the .pdf and
.pptx versions did occur for me after several tries.  The .pptx version is
formatted slightly better than the .pdf.

We may need to come with some rules to submitting papers to llvm.org
pages, we don't want to become SEO focus points, or Ads revenue
generators or worse, malware distributors.

General rules that make sense is that the links MUST:
 - be on PDF format to avoid platform segregation. There is no excuse
in 2014 not to be able to generate a PDF. Other formats are ok as
extra.
 - be either a direct link to a PDF or to a clear page (with abstract,
etc), without ads or clutter or unnecessary scripts or steps, with a
direct link to the PDF

Any Ads or malicious scripts (Xsite, etc) found on the web pages will
ban the user forever (or whatever).

The link also seems to say it'll expire on 18th August. That's
probably not a good thing to put on the site, even without the other
issues.

Cheers.

+1.  Having a centralized store for PDFs will be very welcomed.

Hello,
   I see, you are right, I thought that you can upload it onto llvm.org.
Now I noticed that the links in publications are direct.

   Honestly I did not think that there are links outside llvm.org for the pdfs,
because many of them can stop working and then there will be no way ho to get
to them again. So because of this, it did put the files onto
this dropbox-like server.
   Anyway I can try to put it onto some school's server and send the links
again.

Best regards
   Adam
