# Downloading LessTif

If you want to use our ftp server, go to ftp.hungry.com (located in San Francisco, CA, USA) or (preferably) use one of our mirrors.

Binary releases are available in the bindist directory.

Source releases are available in the srcdist directory.

Unless you want to live on the bleeding edge, you should use one of the released versions. However, the most current source is always available from anonymous CVS.

If you have trouble with a specific release, you may wish to see the known problems file. Also make sure you have read the FAQ as well as the Installation instructions!
You should check these files before sending mail to the developers.

## Available Packages

These are the various files that may be available at the ftp sites for a given release. Note that not all binaries are always available. If there's no binary distribution for your system, you can get the source and build yourself.
