Whenever I try to download an archived release (any file, but for discussion I will try to download the 1.1.21 changelog) I get a message that says "Sorry but you can not directly download an archived file without first going through the Simple Machines website." I've tried manually supplying various referers including www . simplemachines.org, simplemachines.org, and downloads.simplemachines.org, but I am always given that message instead of the file I'm trying to download.

does it happen if you try to download 1.1.12 install? i cant duplicate it there. i can only duplicate it if you try to download that change log and click the link "has our download failed you? try the direct download link."

may be because the file may be missing from the server.

Yeah, the installers work. I thought it was all files because I tried a few other change logs (.20, .19) and got the same result.

So are the change logs not archived then?

they should be without issue. we had some server issues recently so maybe related to that.
