It seems the author's dropbox account couldn't handle the traffic, so I added my own links. Hopefully now people will be able to download both issues:
Issue #1: http://www.vintageisthenewold.com/amigaville-a-new-amiga-magazine/
Issue #2: http://www.vintageisthenewold.com/amiga-magazine-amigaville-issue-2-is-available-now/
If it doesn't work, comment on the article, please.
Hope that helps
