Hello,
I'd like to download an old version of Pale Moon for an old, old computer.
but the link of the Archived versions page always returns
Sorry, unable to access at this page
Are the old versions always available?
Thanks

Old versions are available from our archive server.
I just verified that there's no issue with the server. Also, the error message looks strange, and not something I think originates from any archived versions page we operate. Can you provide more information exactly what you are doing, which addresses you are going to for these old versions, etc.?

The archive server runs on HTTP, so if your (presumably non Pale Moon) browser is configured to force HTTPS always, you may run into problems.

It supports both http and https. So that wouldn't be the problem.

Hello,
Thank you to all of you for yours suggestions and help.
Reading the first Moonchild's answer gave me the idea to try from another computer and web browser (why didn't I think at this sooner by myself!?)
No problem from Linux/palemoon.
The problem appears with Windows/edge... :
- Download > Other Archived versions
- click on http(s)://archive.palemoon.org/palemoon/
- and...

So, problem solved, I successed to download the release I was looking for.
Thanks again.

Unable to reproduce in Windows/Edge. It just pulls up the archive directory as expected.
