      Description

      Example:  https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/release-notes/2.6-upgrade/

      Documentation on upgrading legacy versions direct users to download from the downloads page but the downloads page has been updated and no longer provides access to versions before 3.0.

      All download links for these unlisted versions can be found here:  
      https://downloads.mongodb.org/full.json

      Recommendation:  As these legacy downloads are unlikely to change and if they do it would be a rare occurrence I recommend replacing the call to visit the downloads page with direct links to the relevant downloads.  Alternatively this could be addressed on the web side by creating access to legacy versions from the downloads page or creating an archive page with older releases.
