Ah, I see it now, and the bit now added to the top. Thank you.
I really don't want to sound demanding, but out of genuine
curiosity, why retain the vulnerable 9.1.0000 links at all? I
would fear most users might navigate the page like I did:
- "popular", "Windows", "Unix", "Mac"
okay, I'm on Windows...
- "32-bit installer", "64-bit installer", "32-bit zip", "64-bit zip"
okay, I'm 64-bit, so click 64-bit installer

Or similarly for "okay, I'll go with what's popular,
current-stable sounds good... not sure why there's multiple
stable links but I'll just grab the first x64 one".

The user ends up with a vulnerable install, without realizing.
Wouldn't it make more sense to bury the vulnerable installer
links behind a "archive" or "previous releases" or let users
find them from the directory links?
