Thank you, Mr Reichenbach, for this. Once i figured out how it works as a windows user i made use of it. I now have a working client downloading on my usual 6 MB/s line at nearly 30 MB/s.

how did u do it ? powershell ?

You could just use Windows Subsystem for Linux aka WSL on Windows.

So where is .exe file? How to launch client after script finished?

The executable has since been removed, hence the above script only downloads the data.

I am providing the no longer available files for download myself now.

You basically have to extract the contents of the 5.4.8-minimal into the folder generated by the above script.

@danielsreichenbach The executables in 5.4.8-minimal have different hashes than the ones I patched myself from 5.0.3 to 5.4.8. Were your files modified?

I actually do not remember, it's been so long. If you patched files, and they look different, then I would say prefer yours. If you can upload them for comparison, that would help for sure.
