I spent the time today to read up on how to use s3 website redirects, since s3 doesn't support symlinks. The only new requirement is for the http client to follow a 301 redirect, which most do.

The new directories:
http://downloads.dlang.org/pre-release/<majorversion>.x/<version>/... http://downloads.dlang.org/release/<majorversion>.x/<version>/...

All beta and release candidates are grouped by the to-be-released version number under the pre-release tree. Having most of the early versions in a versioned directory is a little silly due to there only being a single .zip file in each, but helps with consistency.

The existing yearly directories still exist and contain the actual files still to avoid any chance of breaking old clients that don't support redirect following.

I hope that makes you guys a little happier..

Wow thanks ! However, I'm not able to access it ATM. It looks like something is redirecting me to index.html while trying to access http://downloads.dlang.org/pre-release/:
