I am trying to install the Resynthesizer plugin for GiMP but the website for the download says that "This site can't be reached". How do I fix this?

The registry.gimp.org site has finally closed.

The (ancient ver.1) resynthesizer plugin from there did work anyway, you need a slightly updated Windows version.

Go here and check the details.

Why is it so?

Is there to be a replacement? Were the plugins too old or broken anyway?

(I see https://github.com/pixlsus/registry.gimp.org_static has a copy of the site.)

Suffered very badly from spam, combined with the maintainer 'retiring' resulted in the site 'frozen' no more postings.

There are lots of old scripts and plugins there that no longer work with Gimp 2.10, some not even Gimp 2.8

Thankfully, a dump of the site has been made as an archive.

There are people working on (thinking about) creating an up-to-date replacement.

Thank you very much for the explanation.
