      Apple stopped showing browsable index files many years ago but someone scraped the wayback machine for URLs and I re-scanned it for more dead links and put up a list of links a while back https://mirrors.kalleboo.com/apples-download.info.apple.com-files.html https://mirrors.kalleboo.com/apples-download.info.apple.com-...

    "Use a web browser for older versions" was not working for me the other day, though I now cannot remember if it was when I was dealing with a Safari version with old/unusable SSL. I was able to load the webpage, though, so SSL was working there, and therefore something was different about the download links than the page itself.

  It'd be really nice if there were a place with authoritative original sha/md5 sums for the various ISOs, DMGs etc that are floating around.
