What is more annoying is that all Bitcoin releases before 0.3.24 were just deleted from sourceforge. Why?? Here's Linux 1.0.0 from 1994, they aren't trying to erase their history...

That's source code for the kernel, right?

I removed the old binary releases from SourceForge because it was getting annoying to find things like testnet-in-a-box in that very long list, and also getting hard to see what the latest release was. And with our gitian reproducible build process, the windows/linux binaries for recent releases are deterministically reproducible from the source code.

See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tags  for the history back to the 0.1.5 release.  Uploading 0.1 to github is a good idea, maybe somebody who knows more about git than I do can suggest the best way to do that.
