I've been writing software for my Leonid meteor digitization and analysis project, and all was going well until this morning. For some strange reason, Aurora MediaGrabX wasn't working properly. I couldn't select different compression or depth options. Odd, thought I. I tried a number of things, including resetting the machine. No luck. Oh, well, I'll just rebuild it from my backups. Hmm, I didn't back up the base software. Oh, yes, I have to download it from the website.
THE WEBSITE IS GONE!!!!
Panic! I search through all my backup drives, checking. I backed up all sorts of stuff, but never thought to back up the application. I search the Internet, looking for any other backup. Nothing.
I'm screwed. The whole project is screwed. What now?
So I'm appealing to people here: I need the Aurora MediaGrabX package, including the application and the drivers. I will happily place it on my own FTP server, so that others can get it if necessary (assuming Aurora has no objection).

I have the MediaGrabX.app.zip file, which I think is the one you're after. It's only 68KB, so I can Email it to you if you supply me with an Email address.
I also have most IgniterX drivers up to 6.4.4 (1.32MB) and AuroraAV4.4 (1.26MB).
Thanks. As it happens, I was able to find a good backup on an older hard drive that had been used as a shuttle disk. So I'm saved. I have put the files up on my website. You can find them as follows:

Gavin,
Could you possibly email me the Igniter 6.4.4 driver please - and any other igniter necessary software - like many others I am in urgent need of these; if you could then I will post them on my website so everyone else can get hold of them without bothering you. glen.hodgetts@dsl.pipex.com
