Trying to install the latest Xcode on 10.7. For only v4.3-v4.6.3, I get a 403 forbidden error when using my go-to site Xcodereleases.com (which simply gives you direct download links to apple developer website, very important because apple developer website’s search is literally quite possibly the worst search I’ve ever used on anything. Seriously try to search Xcode 4 and see what you get). Luckily v4.2.1 is available still here, but as someone who has been meaning to archive every Xcode version (and finally has the storage to really do it) this bothers me.

Anyone have it saved? I tried to search around and found nothing.
 
They seem to be on https://developer.apple.com/download/all/ (search for xcode 4.3 and then scroll past the 14.x versions). I tried downloading a couple and it was successful.

You do need an Apple Developer account, but a free one will suffice.
God I really don’t mean to be that person who demands a link, but the search function infuriates me on this website. I saw Xcode 4.6, but know 4.6.3 is the latest version.

It isn't possible to link directly. If you search "Xcode 4.6.3" verbatim it comes right up.
