This is something I've been meaning to announce for some time now but I keep forgetting.  We added a few new URLs you can download SMF from.  These are designed to only serve up the  latest releases so you can be sure you are getting the most recent version.

Install
http://www.simplemachines.org/download/index.php/latest/
http://www.simplemachines.org/download/index.php/latest/install/

Upgrade
http://www.simplemachines.org/download/index.php/latest/upgrade/

Update
http://www.simplemachines.org/download/index.php/latest/update/


I hope these will be of use to you.

Great, I'll announce it in my forum:)

Why not go the little bit further and remove index.php from the url too?

What and wreck the SMF style SEF urls :P

IMHO, http://www.simplemachines.org/download/latest.tar.gz would be the best URL :D

Go to smfshop.com for SMFshop support, do NOT email or PM me!

Nice, but better way is to make a link to file.
Like WordPress have: hxxp:www.wordpress.org/latest.zip [nonactive] :)

Would SMF ever think of having multiple mirrors?

Oh I did not know that.

How would someone be able to help by being a mirror?




Cause I am willing to become a mirror for SMF and I don't have any real bandwidth limits. I have 500GB of bandwidth a month. I only use 2GB a month, so yeah I have lots left.

Yeah I saw that in a previous post. I emailed someone in SMF and I never got a reply. Cause I would be interested in providing my services in becoming a mirror for SMF.

Why don't have something similar to WordPress download? It is just the URI and a file called either latest.zip or latest.tar.gz.

http://simplemachines.org/latest.zip
http://simplemachines.org/latest.tar.gz

That would not be that good. Cause not everyone can run 1.1.4 or the latest version of SMF.

Because we don't want to copy others, we want to do things our own unique way :P

Besides, ours follows our format we use for when SEF urls are on.
