1) Who do I need to contact at Avast to check into this...
I've asked them to check the website.
Maybe
Kubecj maybe
Pavel Baudis.
You can send an IM for them too.
2) Who can possibly host those files elsewhere for the time being?
Only they could answer.
P.S. I can't reach the download site too. It's not a single problem for a single user.
