This is a problem that's been developing for a few months now.
There are quite a few old, abandoned tools that haven't been fully deprecated or replaced by newer projects. The problem is that we can't really redistribute other peoples' work without their permission, or at least some implicit indication that they're happy with mirroring.
As a compromise, what I can do is start mirroring the files on my own site, but IM / email the authors of those tools confirming permission. It's not a great solution - it's still quite intrusive and presumptuous to start redistributing stuff - but it's better than nothing.
I've managed to track down a copy of Chole and upload it
here, but I cannot find any mirrors for the FF8 Launcher - the author put the files on RapidShare, which doesn't archive old uploads. Still, I will email the author and see if he can provide us a new copy.
Other than that, I suggest IMing the authors of any particular tools you're looking for, or checking out any personal websites that they link to in their profile (see the globe icon underneath their avatar).
