WTF am i here, i just need to download magento.

I can even download direct to server, because of this pathetic protection

Hi @dfgsdfgdfasdf, how can I help? You should be able to download the latest version at https://www.magentocommerce.com/download

I cannot access the Release Archives when signed in. I can access release archives anonymously, but when I choose a format and click download, I am prompted to log in. After logging in, I can no longer access the release archives tab. I want to download 1.8.1.0. How do I work around this issue?

[edit]

Perhaps I should mention I'm trying to download community edition.

Hi @rogwei, we're aware of the JS error that's preventing anyone from clicking on the Release Archive tab, sorry about that! Working towards a quick resolution. In the meantime you can access 1.8.1.0 directly via http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.8.1.0/magento-1.8.1.0.tar.gz

Please note that 1.8.1 will require patching.

Thanks for the quick reply, Sherrie. Does patching change the DB system requirement?

[sherrie]

I don't believe so @rogwei, you'll just want to make sure you apply those security patches if not using the latest version.
