Media encoder version 2019 download, please

sorry, i'm just super annoyed by adobe...

i usually use AE 2019 (16.1.3) and render the vidos with (a likewise 2019 version of) media encoder. i use this old version because here i can be sure that everything works as expected. that's not a given with new versions. i use AE also for work projects, so i kind of depend on it.

today i downloaded premiere to play around a bit. obviously the download of premiere automatically installed a new version of the media encoder, too. of course without asking me.

so when i wanted to render an ae project with the updated media encoder it didn't work because the versions are somehow incompatible.

i searched the web for a 2019 version of media encoder but coudn't find one. (except for some shady links i didn't want to click)

my main question: has anybody a trustworthy download link?

why is adobe forcing me to use new versions i don't want to use, which are most likely buggy?

is there some adobe employee reading this?
