Hi Carl, Thanks for letting me know about the incorrect links from the Unidata netcdf website; I've corrected that. In regards to the github links, those downloads are generated automatically by GitHub, and are named according to the tag associated with the release, in this case `v4.4.3`. Thanks again for pointing out my oversight regarding the Unidata-provided downloads!
