 The configuration process could not be simplier, follow a few easy steps:
   * Add ISO... upload AstLinux Installer ISO image to Vultr

 You can transfer the ISO directly from the [[https://www.astlinux-project.org|AstLinux Project]] page, use the latest **Guest VM x86-64bit (Video Console)** version, for example the URL for version ''1.4.4'' is:
-  https://s3.amazonaws.com/mirror.astlinux-project/downloads/iso/astlinux-1.4.4-genx86_64-vm.iso
+  https://astlinux-project.org/mirror/downloads/iso/astlinux-1.4.4-genx86_64-vm.iso
 It will take a minute or more to finish transferring.
