It seems that the URL stopped working for some reason (maybe software
upgrade?), the working url is:

https://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=10

http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/bin/win32/luatex.dll?view=log

or

svn co svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Master/bin/win32
cd win32
svn log # to see what's there
svn up -r<some number>

That was true at that time when the version in TeX live was probably
still working. You might be able to fetch and old TeX Live from the
archive.

Akira's recent binaries don't support Windows 2000 any longer, that's
for sure, but he's using Visual Studio. There is a reasonable chance
that you might be able to compile luatex yourself with MinGW (maybe
Taco's binaries are working) and maybe that would work even with the
latest version of LuaTeX. But you need to try yourself. You are
probably the only ConTeXt user on Windows 2000 ;)
