Thank you kindly. I have downloaded the new packages and updated my installations.

P.S.: I have observed that as in any new version it's good to reset all the "media." variables in "about:config and then restart browser a few times. Makes youtube more fluent...

Update

[Mathwiz]

Ultimate irony: the Cloudflare security checks block me from downloading Serpent with wget any more. I just get "403 Forbidden."

Nor can I even use an old Serpent version to download the newest version! Apparently I'll have to use R3dfox to download Serpent now...?

At least I'm on Win 7 and can use R3dfox, but what's an XP user to do now?

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate AI? Not because I don't find it useful, but because everybody and their God damned dog is trying to scrape the entire World Wide Web to train their damned AI, necessitating all these damned security checks.

[Mathwiz]

I'm back. R3dfox worked, but good grief. I had to click the stupid "I am human" box. No more automated downloads.

What really bites is that I had a nice .bat file that would automatically download the list of files from the appropriate directory at o.rthost.win, find the newest, automatically download that file, back up the old version, extract the new one, and apply all my browser customizations, all with just a few keystrokes. Now that's all been thrown out the window!

[Skorpios]

Right-click > "Save Link As..." works for me on XP.

Tested with Serpent52/55, NM28 and MP68.
Will probably also work with Supermium, Thorium and forks by e3kskoy7wqk.

You can try to change the user agent in your wget options. And just to be on the safe side, change your IP address. No problems here when downloading with New Moon, Serpent or Mypal 78 from o.rthost.win. Nihil in aeternum durat.
