http://springfiles.com/spring/games/xta to always point to latest XTA version? It seems to have correctly copied over the version history but points to 9.66 which is very old...
I'm not a gynecologist, but I tried to have a look. I think that that page can only be edited by Noruas.

fyi: xta should work now on rapid...

"pr-downloader xta:test" should grab the latest test version / autohosts should be able to use that tag, too.

Oil... Finally. Last time I tried to play xta I gave up in frustration because of the terrible versioning scheme and the fact that even seasoned xta players had no idea where to DL it.

Thanks for this information, I only understand you have to use command line for rapid and not lobby. But the rapid option to set path doesn't work:
C:\Spring>pr-downloader.exe --filesystem-writepath
pr-downloader 0.7-112-g74e1242
pr-downloader.exe: option requires an argument -- filesystem-writepath
Usage: pr-downloader.exe
--rapid-download <name>
--rapid-validate
--dump-sdp <name>
--http-download <name>
--http-search <name>
--download-map <name>
--download-game <name>
--download-engine <name>
--filesystem-writepath <name>
--disable-logging
--help
--version

C:\Spring>pr-downloader.exe --filesystem-writepath U:\bin\Spring\Data\rapid

How do you force rapid to stay the hell out of my documents path. Currently I have to delete the fodler it creates there every time I use something connected to rapid.
