the changelog on our main page links the releases to the download - this does not work for 2.065 anymore.

clicking on 2.065 links to:
http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2.x/2.065

which is a 404 right now. that looks kinda unprofessional

Also why the overly complicated link? http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2.x/2.067.0/ should really be http://downloads.dlang.org/2.067.0/ -- Andrei

http://dlang.org/download.html is good though?

I completely agree. What's really annoying is that betas are under "pre-releases". Personally I would dump everything directly under http://downloads.dlang.org like the DigitalMars FTP. It's way easier for tooling, like DVM. If one goes to http://downloads.dlang.org I would expect them to know what they're looking for so navigation is not really needed. The main download page is http://dlang.org/download.html.

Hmm, basically all links are broken here [1]. I've reported a bug [2].
