Hi
I also had the same problems as you and as such I think I caused a stir with
the Indy webmasters when I continually gave them greif about the site.
Eventually I was invited into the Indy webmasters group to help make a
difference.
The atozed.com website was simply a bad idea in my opinion. I've mentioned
this and I think with any luck it will be removed from the Indy site. Also
the downloads on the Atozed site are pretty useless. As you correctly state,
the download version is 10.0.52 which I also previously downloaded (and had
hell installing). The current download is also missing
TIdCustomTCPServer.pas which IS included in the development snapshot. The
Auto installer on the atozed site is pretty bad too.
A new site design is being worked on and I have the mission of writing a
'How-To' guide for downloading and installing Indy. The new design will be
easier to navigate (At least thats what I've been told by the main
webmaster) and easier to find the appropriate download files.
Currently if you want the latest version you should download the development
snapshot (Dodgy, but it's the only way to get the latest version). You will
notice that the neillans.co.uk mirror is offline so you will need to use the
2nd mirror and download the Indy10.zip

Hope this helps
