Hi all,

Just last evening, I was downloading Filelight on a Windows machine. Due to the \
machine being rather ancient and slow, I ended up going for the direct binary \
download instead of the Microsoft Store download. The apps.kde.org page had me \
download from a Binary Factory link. As of right now, that link is still on \
https://apps.kde.org/filelight/, but it obviously doesn't work. I haven't checked the \
apps.kde.org source, but it seems that perhaps those URLs are automatically generated \
for each app, so it should be trivial to change or remove them.

Are there other places that need this URL replaced as well? \
https://lxr.kde.org/search?%21v=kf6-qt6&_filestring=&_string=binary-factory.kde.org \
shows that there are a number of READMEs that still link to Binary Factory, and Krita \
has some CI stuff that still references binary-factory.kde.org, but I have a sneaking \
suspicion that there are binary-factory.kde.org links in KDE webpages and other \
repositories that aren't indexed by lxr.kde.org.
