I just found this Memento from http://www.adobe.com/de/downloads/cs2_downloads/index.html.
It hast earlier also been available from Wayback Maschine but today it reads Sorry. This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine..

I tried to extract the relevant table with the command

pandoc --from https://archive.today/255q5 --to markdown_strict --output extracted.md

but it did not really succeed that way, to publish it here.

Later on I tried https://tabletomarkdown.com/convert-website-table-to-markdown/ and that worked really cool. Just remember to paste the table (after marking on the website) not the html-code. I just changed some bits for better readability.

Most of the links from within the table are not working. But the good news is, that some someware is for available through some other software distribution website:

Here is the preview of the original memento:

hi, i made a big effort to find archived links to almost every single resource a while back: catbox.moe / pastebin

it's in all languages and for both platforms, includes also pdfs for installation guides and some extras (forums with solutions to installation bugs nd stuff)

what could not be found is marked as [LOST], but almost everything is here.

sadly i did not format this in markdown or anything, it's a weird txt file

hi, i made a big effort to find archived links ...

Nice! Thank you. It should be a matter of simple replacing the existing prefixes to the archived link with:
"https: //archive.today/o/255q5/web.archive.org/web/20130108114753/" [without space]

I didn't test the entire list, but I did check a random one. The French version of Photoshop.

The full link from the text file fails, as expected now:
https://web.archive.org/web/20170906195719/http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/magic/creativesuite/CS2_EOL/PHSP/PS_CS2_FR_NonRet.exe

Replacing the prefix gets it working again and downloads the installer:
https://archive.today/o/255q5/web.archive.org/web/20130108114753/http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/magic/creativesuite/CS2_EOL/PHSP/PS_CS2_FR_NonRet.exe

huh, weird, the archive.org links work for me. are you dealing with country-wide censorship?
