 Description   

Right now, the download page for the C++ driver looks like:
http://dl.mongodb.org/dl/cxx-driver/

This does not sort the files by version, and also includes the possibly-buggy-bleeding-edge version as simply "cxx-driver/mongodb-linux-x86_64-latest.tgz". It is quite difficult for a new user to figure out which version is the correct one to download. For example, the correct file to download for most users is probably "cxx-driver/mongodb-linux-x86_64-v2.2-latest.tgz".

We could start by deleting some of the older versions, especially the rc's.

Perhaps we should go through and remove links to the download page now (or delete the files in that bucket entirely).

milkie Any reason to keep this ticket now that we no longer distribute the driver tarball?
