BFGMiner download link no longer working

[tmbomber383]

When you run MultiMiner in Windows 10 it looks for an installation of BFGMiner. Seeing it's not installed yet it asks if you want to download it. If you click yes it fails immediately. (seeing the download link is no longer valid)

I found a download for BFGMiner 5.5.0 and tried placing it's folder in the system path, but MultiMiner didn't see it where ever I put it.

MultiMiner needs BFGMiner to function, Where do I put BFGMiner so MultiMiner will see it?

Hi,

Where did you find BFGMiner. Sourceforge's BFGMiner is corrupted with a worm

Thanks for the warning!

I was setting up a miner on a pc I scrapped together from old parts.
I wasn't really trying to generate revenue or anything, it was just an experiment to see how to do it and what all was involved.

I got it running for a weekend and didn't generate enough to cover the cost of the electricity to power it. I shut it down and took it apart.

So, if the version I had contained the worm it's already wiped.

I don't really recall where I actually downloaded it from.
