You are correct how ads with download links can cause confusion in determining which download link is the correct one to select. It's a very frustrating experience.
Every software maker should ask itself the question, how is my work availbale in 20 years. Reaching out for old software today is still possible, but right now especially Apple is creating the big void of future retro computing. Try to gain access to old appstore content. Impossible. So many mac developers no longer hosting themselves, but pointing to the Apple store only. And their no-sideloading policy does not help either. Luckily Android counterparts have proper availability. I do not agree on avoiding peertopeer. Piratebay is an awesome source for access to old stuff. The nice thing is that opposite to archive sites, peer-to-peer has way more moderation. The only problem is "clone" piratebays exist that host fake stuff. So beware of clones that have many same-size items and low seed counts. Those can be a honeypot of mallware. But again, for old Apple software, Piratebay is your only option.
you need to change the video title to advice for downloading old version of softwares i just wanted to see where can i download old version of softwares but i just got some advice
Which is the biggest WCeend story ever. Dumb use causes security flaws, leaving computers on (at night) on fibre internet maybe the most risky one. Not old software. A recent bug on a mainstream app is a way bigger risk than an old one with a handful of users. Things nobody does but should do: - Have a backup computer and a drive with install programs to make a new usable machine at any moment without the need to go online to do so - Make sure you have a backup of your files (which is 2 instances on 2 different physical accesable locations) - Have only the last emails you wrote online, and move the old ones to an encrypted offline volume (with backup). I see people with 15 years of mail in Outlook or Gmail, which is the mother of all security risks.

Downloading old software can be a security risk. Many programs contain security patches of their most recent versions
