I will put LC server windows 962rc2 somewhere tomorrow and put the link here. Probably have the Linux Server too.

The archive looks like it has every Linux server version already up there.

It would be helpful if we could have the installers for each major release version, last one before the next jump.
For example, 9.6.3, 9.5.1, 9.0.5, 8.2.0, 8.1.10, 8.0.2, and so on. I am really kicking myself for not downloading all of these two weeks ago when I was going to...

Added some more that were shared by the community with me today. I will continue to add them as they come in and as my time allows.

Feel free to upload any from my above link. I am fairly busy until the weekend, but archive seems like a good permanent home for these.

Thanks Stryder, ClipArtGuy, Richmond !
I'm actually a software preservationist at heart. Call it a software hoarding issue. However, I have retained a lot of software of the past 30+ years that no longer really exists anywhere. I archive and upload when I can.
In this case, everything was taken down overnight. Leaving a lot of people unprepared. Had I known about the change even with 1 day notice, I would have downloaded the entire installer offering for preservation.
I've been finding and uploading what I can to the archive.org site. So far, there's a fair bit of versions there. I'm working with a software archiver in Europe who runs a very large archive site, and he has managed to download some of the installers through caches. Can't say how, but he's doing it. They will hopefully mostly/all become available on various sites and platforms in the coming weeks. Today we have the archive.org offering as a hold-over. Eventually we'll host them on various places for safekeeping.
I'm happy to help out this community, any way I can.
If anyone notices that they have a version of the installer that isn't on archive.org yet, please reach out to me. You can find me here, and on Reddit.
