Why would they need to update a Help page for version 12.1x?

Because when I google "download opera old version", it's the first result. If they don't want to update it, they should tell google to stop indexing it. PLUS, no better result comes up when I add "site:opera.com" to the search.

AHA! I found the latest are in ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/, e.g. ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/44.0.2510.1159/mac/.

I'm sure many users are opening
ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/Win7/, ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/mac/ and ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/linux/
and getting stumped.

Linking to http://arc.opera.com/pub/opera/ while claiming to link to the Opera FTP archive - not cool!

I was referring more to the part about explain and justify the request.
