I tried to download their new Benchmark 3.0.0, but site seems to be hammered.

Softpedia has a mirror though: https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Benchmarks/Blender-Benc...

While the site is hammered, I'll point out that you can get automatic Blender updates through Steam if you're so inclined.

They're talking about the new Benchmark tool specifically. I'm not sure if it's included within Blender itself, but it's not available (at least separately if included with Blender) on Steam.

I assumed it was the same website/CDN for both. Maybe I was wrong. Still, the Steam thing is a little known tip.
