Re: Update source for older versions?

I've just tested that one, it works.

How do you test? It would be nice if vendors published MD5's so we could verify the integrity of files downloaded from other sources.

By "testing", I meant verifying the link is valid (points to an existing file), the target is downloadable (no server problems) and executable (not a corrupt archive/installer). Whether the file contains what it said and should, is another matter - and has not been checked by me.
