The page https://librivox.org/don-juan-canto-i-by-george-gordon-byron-6th-baron-byron/ has an "Online text" link in its left column which points to http://www.geocities.com/~bblair/donjuan.htm

That geocities page shows an error message. The error persisted when I tried https instead of http.

It would be better to use https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/21700 or https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Don_Juan_(Byron) like Librivox's other Don Juan Canto pages use.

The world has changed since 2006 and so have internet links so yes you are nit picking , but it would be nice to use the PG link - and hope the wording doesn't differ. Thanks for letting us know
