No I thought you were having a problem with the download page loading not the actual download. I have tried that now and first of all there is a redirect and then the 404 failure.

That's what I meant. You can't download it. Their Twitter page says their hosting service is having problems.

Good job but their download is now working. 

Patch My PC Free is flawed though.

Why would you say its flawed when it did what it advertised.

Because it reports incorrect version numbers and says things need to be updated when they don't.
