Ever since I mentioned that I downgraded my NAS version to 1.6.1 and had good results afterwards, I have been asked by a few members to please supply them with the file. I have absolutely no problem doing this, but I think Plex should offer access to previous versions with, perhaps, a caveat that no support will be given to any version other than the current one.
I dont remember the folder, but every version you’ve installed is kept in your plex folder. Of course this isnt helpful if your starting clean or never installed the version you want.
I agree though, it would be nice if they provided an archive repo.
The folder link I received from another member now has a message that I (we) don’t have access to it any longer.

they used to do just this, not all that long ago. It clearly didn’t work out of them.
On a windows computer it should be under: Users\user account\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Updates. Don’t know about other platforms. I started manually updating after 1.5.1 so don’t have any updates in that folder after that version, but have all other versions saved in a separate folder. Probably should clean out some of them since I won’t be going back.
Depending on which version you need you might still be able to grab it from Plex server. You have to know the full version number and replace the version information in the URL for the current download. For example the current version download for Windows links to:
Removed for codec licensing restrictions.
I was thinking the https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server/ folder was open so we could choose any platform and release. No. You have to know the release number and the filename. Never mind.
