I apologies for me misspelling Apparently

one issue is that the technic pack people do not host any packs other than the defalt ones. So with your example of Aether2, the people who created aether 2 have to host it somewhere. That somewhere might be down.

Well, that may be a very true statement, but hosting it with a very well known website such as Dropbox it should never be down. But also it is not just for custom mod packs now its every mod pack including the ones made by the technic team.
