Love the new format of the download page and how you can access all previous versions as well.  Nicely done. smile

Would be nice if you guys could actually put a working URL up for people that use SSH to download. As it stands now, you can’t download using the link on the page that comes up after you select the version you want. It just downloads an index.html file:

wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/getmagento/1.1.0/magento-1.1.0.tar.gz
--2008-07-11 18:32:12--  http://www.magentocommerce.com/getmagento/1.1.0/magento-1.1.0.tar.gz

And even better, why don’t you symlink the latest release to a path that’s always the same. It would help out tremendously for those that have created one-click installers and do manual installs all the time, e.g.:

http://www.magentocommerce.com/download/latest.tar.gz

The same goes for the sample data, a symlinked gzip of the latest sample data would be wonderful.

For those that do you use SSH, here’s the working path to the latest stable release:

http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.0.19870/magento-1.0.19870.4.tar.gz

The latest sample data:

http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.0.19870/magento-sample-data-1.0.19870.tar.gz

The 1.1.0 beta:

http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.1.0/magento-1.1.0.tar.gz

No problem, depach.

@Varien/Magento: Could we get a symlink? It’s a 5 second task, and would be much appreciated as I’d like to rewrite our installer but would rather wait until this happens...a URL like this would be fine:

http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/latest.tar.gz
http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/latest-sample-data.tar.gz

Thanks!
