OpenAL: locating freealut or fixing this code - c++

Question

I am writing a new framework for a game engine, but I'm stuck with one issue, OpenAL.
I'm usually using freealut for this, but i cant find it anywhere, the only site that hosted it is offline, and i don't have any copies of it. I even had to dissect some other guys' project to find openal32.lib. Either my google fu has grown weak, or the vast Internet really doesn't have any copies of it.
I found some example coding showing how to work openAL without the freealut framework, but i cant get it to load in multiple files, so i either have to find out why its not working, or somehow locate freealut, i found some sources for it in github, but at this moment, building freealut from source is out of the question.
I am using visual express c++ 2010 as the ide.
I modified the code I found, into this:
Basically its three commands to load, play and delete the sound files.
It works fine for one sound file, but when I try to load in more, it stops working.
#include "AudioLib.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

//Listener
alListenerfv(AL_POSITION, ListenerPos); //Set position of the listener
alListenerfv(AL_VELOCITY, ListenerVel); //Set velocity of the listener

ALuint source = soundssource[input];
ALuint buffer = soundsbuffer[input];
//Source

alSourcefv(source, AL_VELOCITY, SourceVel); //Set the velocity of the source
alSourcei (source, AL_LOOPING, AL_FALSE ); //Set if source is looping sound
//PLAY
alSourcePlay(source); //Play the sound buffer linked to the source
if(alGetError() != AL_NO_ERROR) return endWithError("Error playing sound"); //Error when playing sound
//system("PAUSE"); //Pause to let the sound play
}
void deleteSound() {
//Clean-up
//Close the WAVE file
//Delete the sound data buffer
for(int i = 0; i < soundslist.size(); i++) {
const char * out = soundslist[i];
alDeleteSources(1, &soundssource[out]); //Delete the OpenAL Source
alDeleteBuffers(1, &soundsbuffer[out]);
}
//Delete the OpenAL Buffer
soundslist.clear();
alcMakeContextCurrent(NULL); //Make no context current
alcDestroyContext(context); //Destroy the OpenAL Context
alcCloseDevice(device);
}
So what I'm asking for:
I need either the freealut files, or some help with the code.
Any solutions?

Ok, the openal site seems to be partially back online.
