It's out for those of you with macs anyway... as usual there is no windows version of redsn0w for now.

Comex is holding on to his jailbreak for the next OS update I guess. Kind of a bummer as I've been hoping for something stable from him. I'm not a fan of the endless redsn0w beta versions where they fix one little bug at a time.
So is there or is there not a 4.2 jailbreak? i jailbroke my appletv today and didn't realize that it's a tethered jailbreak.. sigh.. on os x, by the way
can you respring a tethered JB without needing a pc/mac? is it just a full reboot that's the problem?
Yeah, it restarts springboard every time I install just about anything from Cydia... so, it doesn't need to be tethered for that. Full reboot needs tether.
The 3G is pwned for life. Just run Redsn0w and you're set.iPhone noob here, I just got a cheap used iPhone 3G, 16GB, 4.2.1, I try to read about jailbreaking my iphone but I get confused with all the talk here wondering if it's about 3G or 4G so can someone please tell me how/what to jailbreak my 3G in Windows please.

You're using the wrong version of Redsn0w (0.9.2 is very old). You want 0.9.6rc8I downloaded and ran Redsn0w v0.9.2 but it's asking me for the "corresponding IPSW for my current firmware" as i mentione before i think my current firmware verison is 4.2.1 and the only related file i am offered where i downloaded redsn0w is iPhone 3G 3.1.2 ipsw Download should i download and install this firmware?

Use the 4.2.1 iPhone 3G firmware blob with it.

Can redsn0w cook a firmware for ATV2 the same way it does for the other iOS devices? I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about this, but I can't really find any good Windows resources.
Can you guys comment on 4.2.1 firmware performance on the 3G? Tempted to downgrade.
It's still slow as molasses IMO. There are some speed boosts over 4.0. Still, I found the Maps app to be almost unusable. Given that it really adds nothing useful beyond merged mailboxes, going back to iOS 3 is the best way to go.

Shit that is a big file and the download link sucks, I've spent the last 2 days trying to download it without success, the download speed is too damn slow and after a couple of hours downloading the connection is dropped
I've looked for other sources of this file but there are none and to top things off Jdownloader does not recognize the download link
damn this is frustrating, anyone know of an alternate download link?
