Looks like it's gone now as hoped.

I am a bit wary of having millions of version of say, Cyclone, up on
Deken, especially alpha versions, but I suppose that can be remedied by
a more conservative approach to releasing/versioning so there SHOULDN'T
be millions of alphas in the first place, which I suppose would be a
sane approach to developing anyways. Anyways, I was just testing out
Deken so I wanted it to go. I'll put it back up eventually once I do stuff
like actual documentation...

Thanks, managed to move Cyclone into proper subfolders and downloading
from Deken still works.
