Every time I'm trying to download the shared mime database I have to hunt for a long time in the freedesktop.org website...

http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-info-spec-latest.html
is easy to find, but only has the spec, not the actual database.
The link at the end of that text is broken:

[SharedMIME] Shared MIME-info Database, http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info.html
=> 404 not found
Thanks for having a look at that broken link ;)

The directory listing in http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/ doesn't have it anywhere either.

OK, googling a bit more leads to http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/mime/shared-mime-info/  ... I'm set for today ;)
