Figures, my edition of CF8 gets corrupted on my server two days after CF9 launches so when I went to download a fresh copy, I can't find it. Does anyknow know where I can find a download for CF8?
Does anybody have a copy of CF8 for OS X in 32-bit? I'm in the same boat as a few others it seems, and am hoping someone can help me not get screwed by Adobe like this.
I have the 32-bit OS X installer for CF 8 and the updated for 8.0.1. I am at a conference until later tonight (back at my house around 8 p.m. Mountain Time. If you don't get it before then, you can send me a message here on the forums ANSI can set them to upload to an FTP server.
Just got a tweet from @ColdFusion and, apparently, the CF8 downloads will be back online tomorrow, Wednesday, October 21. Keep your eyes out, all those who still need CF8 installers!
Please remember that: post CF 10 and CF 902 {minus Verity}, Complete Installer launch, Adobe will not provide any CF 8 and CF9 installers on site officially.
The site will only provide the related Security and other Hotfixes.
But, you can always reach out to the Technical Support at: cfsup@adobe.com, specify the Installer details and we will share the FTP details with you.

Is that mentioned aywhere on the official site? An official notification that CF8 is no longer available for download would be better than automatically redirecting to CF10 without explanation IMO.
Also, as stated earlier: For any CF801 and CF9 complete installers, please reach out to Adobe Technical Support {cfsup@adobe.com} and we will share the installers.
Provided one knows to look there for the info. I still think your initial point of posting something on the old CF8 download page on the Adobe site would be the best place for this, rather than someone's blog.

Oh I still think they should place a prominent statement on the relevant page, rather than sending customers 'round in circles. However, at least there was some announcement this time, instead of just yanking the product without warning or explanation like last time ..
After a recent double crash (both my computer hard disk and my external backup drive), I was left with zero files. One of the installers I needed was CF8 - nowhere in the Adobe site, but I finally found it in this repository: http://www.gpickin.com/cfrepo/. Just point to View Files at the top of the page; you will find it there. HTH, Carlos.
