Pen down the package names listed by the zip picker, but without
everything after the first number in the file name.  Now go to the ftp
server you selected via the zip picker, and look for packages with the
same name, but a different set of digits.  Select whichever is newest,
from the FTP directory listing.

That's not entirely foolproof, but for a rough idea, it should work.

How does "Doesn't work" manifests itself?  I.e. what exactly fails,
and what are the symptoms?

And what's your operating system?  Windows 2000 and XP are known to
need some special treatment.

What did you change (in your hardware or OS installation) since that
last time you downloaded DJGPP?  What keeps you from just sticking
with the installation you made back then?

The only package known to be noticeably slower than its predecessors
would be GCC itself.  GCC version 3 is a major new version, and is
known to consume considerably more resources, both in terms of memory
and CPU time, than all earlier versions.
