Hello all, i have tried several different ways to access this site to download some software for my windows 98 build, and no matter what i do i am unable to access it. Is anyone else having trouble with it, or know what is going on? Also, if this is in the wrong location please let me know.

Other then that, does anyone have a copy of foxit reader 2.3 for windows 98 available? All links i can find that are not the website in the title download the latest copy no matter what i do.

It says 503, maybe the server is taking a summer vacation 😁

archive.org doesn't help here but AfterDawn seems to carry many versions:
https://www.afterdawn.com/software/desktop/pd … 25#all_versions

I guess build #2825 is the one you're looking for (with #2923 there's no mention of 98, only ME).
Note that you may need to change the URL manually from https to http to get the download going.

I think I have an older version for 98SE in my personal archive.
I'll have a look tonight. 🙂

Thank you, these two links worked, and to everyone else, thank you for the help and info. I did reach out to the sites facebook page and twitter page, the auto response was in russian, so the site is most likly gone at this point.

There was some people saying browsers were blocking it a few months back due to no SSL cert, but even on Internut Exploder it seems dead from here now.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

looks like the site is back up. although firefox still reports it as connection not secure.

Old version dissappearing would be a shame, should validate that archive is mirrored elsewhere

Old version.com is such a helpful resource, I hope it’s not dead. Currently just a blank page for me.

is it down says its been down now for a full week.

last time it came back up firefox was reporting it as an unsecured connection. i believe the security cert for the site was also expired. so my guess would be whoever runs that site isn't really maintain it anymore.

We still have a few archives of it via the wayback machine, but I doubt that all the files are available in it.

Last working archive dates back to July 3rd: https://web.archive.org/web/20220703074526/ht … oldversion.com/

If that website never goes back online again, could there be anyone that can take over?
