Suggestion On Manual Installing + MXL Versions Directories

[Blankless]

Recently I've had some problems with the launcher, where it didn't want to even launch the game, but apart from that, it didn't see that 2.5.1 was available so I couldn't update.

So I did some research into installing MXL Sigma manually, and I've been thinking, that installing manually should be an official secondary download method, if you see what I'm saying. So instead of just being forced to install using the launcher, we should have a directory or so where you can view several sigma version files and be able to choose, download and install manually.
I noticed that a good few people were looking for older versions of Sigma (1.8 and older), but with the launcher system, where it forces you to update and you lose the older versions files, it's a real problem you see.

Of course there is the unofficial way of installing sigma, and also there's that trick with the link to fetch sigma files from the website server, but as far as I checked, this trick doesn't work for anything older than version 2.0.0... I'm sure that not everyone will be doing all these tricks to fetch files and so forth, so I think different versions should be made more available and there should be information in the download page of the website that this is a viable official installation option.

EDIT: funny, didn't notice, that URL actually points to 2.5.1

1.8 is still available:

even 1.0 is.

here's full list of versions: http://get.median-xl.com/launcher/?get=versions

At least for me, http://get.median-xl.com/launcher/mod_full/1.8.0.7z leads to nothing more than a 404 error not found .
How did you access all of this data? I don't know if I would have managed to get to this...
That's what I was talking about though, why can't there be some directory on the main website, that's easily accessible for everyone, where you can just see all the versions, take your pick and download?

1.x is probably no longer hosted, only admins can say for sure

to find those URLs, for example you could use a proxy program (that acts as a MITM) to check which requests launcher makes

I see, that's pretty techy though lol I'm not used to such things..
