How to Download Movable Type 2.661
Now that MT3.0 is out getting a copy of MT2.661 has become quite a challenge. Note that I said "a challenge" and not "impossible" - here's how (thanks to Patrick):
- Get a Typekey account
- Download the free version of MT
- Login to Typekey (if you're not already)
- Choose to download the full version of MT3.0
- Cancel the download (unless you want it)
- Login to Typekey (if you're not already)
- View "Your Typekey Profile Page"
- Choose to download MT2.661
Simple! (er, not).

You're welcome ;)
I know I've write this but I don't remember where exactly ?

Patrick - you wrote it in a forum somewhere, but I can't for the life of me remember where!

Christian : b2evolution forums ?
Affy : do you have all others steps OK ?
- https://secure.sixapart.com/t/store : you have a link named "View your account" that links to https://secure.sixapart.com/t/account?__mode=view
- In this new page you have MT 2.661 with a download link just next.

Patrick, yes I think that's where it was.
Your post really helped me out but was hard to find so I thought it might be a good idea to recreate it in case others were having the same problems finding MT 2.661.
Sounds like they are!
