Hi,

The goal is to download GNU Emacs V24 for Windows precompiled.

Start by going here: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/

Clicking on: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/#Obtaining

Clicking on the link to the download site: http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/

Clicking: http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/windows/

This location only provides v 23.

Someone told me I was going to the wrong place, that I should go here instead:

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/

Best wishes

Why do you think so?

No, it has 24 as well, since June.
Maybe you are somehow looking at a very stale cached version?
Or a broken mirror site?

That is exactly the same location on the server.

It looks fine now. Before it said quite clearly Emacs 23.1 and didn't
have 24 in there.

Sorry, next time I will take a screenshot.
