Yes, they need manual tweaking at the conversion, and I did it after the 
first upload.

If this happens again (which is pretty likely), you can manually 
download the previous version by editing the URL to put in "alpha" in 
place of "beta", or "beta" in place of "rc".

I'd like to have this handled automatically as it was in the past, but I 
don't know the Windows CMD script language well enough to do it.  If any 
experts want to volunteer to fix this (I think you need to create a 
batch script variable from the suffix in a filename), please write to me 
offline.
