Where is the 1.7.10 version?

A lot of the 1.7.10 version was written before I took over the project, and did some major refactoring. The 1.7.10 version relied on some external web resources that may or may not be available, as well as contained many game breaking/crashing bugs. Because of this, 1.7.10 versions were taken down. There are no plans to support a five year outdated version.
