Hi
Currently running Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6 and looking to download a specific program but it will need to be an older version as my Mac is so old.

Is there anywhere online where I could look where older Mac builds are archived or older versions of software are stored?

Thanks
 
Hi
So I am looking for a version of Screaming Frog Spider software. That will run and work on my system.

I’ve been told version 19.2 or earlier will run but I can’t find any old versions anywhere. They are all listed on the site.

It’s free software as well. So I thought it would easier to find a download. Obviously I’m not looking in the right places.

Thanks
 
They list the change log on the site but the Download button defaults to 23.3. Can you just email them asking for a link to a previous version? By the way, I was waiting for the frog in the site footer to eat the fly that kept buzzing around but never happened.
 
Hi
I emailed them and did ask but they charge £ for old versions. They then told me not to use the old versions as the newest version was best and is free.

Very strange as I would have thought you would charge for new versions and make older versions free. It’s exactly the program I need though annoyingly.

I know what you mean about the website very strange.

Thanks

It's even rigged up so that if you change the URL to 19.2 then it still gives you 23.3 instead of an error!

Wayback Machine claims to have 19.2, but it redirects to 19.4 as that was the current release at the time. If you want to try 19.4 anyway:
