How can I get older version of Flareget?

I had just updated FlareGet download manager and it looks like the new version (1.5.12) allows fewer segments per download than the older one, 1.4.9 (4 instead of 8 - while the pro version offers 16).

How can I get back the older version?

UPDATE: The newer 2.0 version has limited farther the number of segments per download: only 2 for the free version. It looks they are pushing hard their paid version. So, unless buying that, there's no point in upgrading.

v. 2.3-24 allows a max of 16 connection/download but only 2 for a file over 25 MB.

It looks like they're restricting connections-per-download to push the paid version.

Given that it's non-free and they control the downloads (and delete their old versions), I don't know what your options are here short of finding somewhere else that has held on to an old copy of one of their debs.

I'd start looking in binary warehouses like Softpedia (they have it here) who tend to be pretty slow at deleting old things. Softpedia has already updated in this case, but others may have older binaries. Searching for the filename flareget_1.4-9_amd64.deb may work... But I shouldn't have to remind you what horrible security ramifications this has.

I would personally just find something else. Axel, FlashGot, JDownloader2, FATRAT for some examples. There are many out there.
