Hi,

trying to get the official 5.6.3 mingw32 offline installer (which I then found 
on ICS’ mirror), I’ve noticed:

- The server has everything <= 5.1 and >= 5.9, but everything in between seems 
still missing? 
- On the old server, the top-level directory for the old releases was 
“new_archive”, now it’s “new-archive”, which leads to dead links in Google. 
That should be easy to fix.

Regards,
