Obtaining the crack and/or keygen
If you only need the crack you can download it directly from the orangeswarm servers: link to crack
If you also need the keygen we cannot directly help you with that since we do not provide you with keys, however megaupload does it for us, and you can grab a keygen here:
Link to megaupload keygen location
Password: http://www.orangeswarm.com
the keygen has a bit weard name, just open it and you'll see its a keygen, reason we did this is this way megaupload doesnt check the files.
if this link dies please tell us in the forum so we can provide a new link
