   Please add this link to download GIMP-2.6.5 for Windows
   http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gimp-2.6.5-i686-setup.exe
   
   Is needed because most of windows users fail to find it on Sourceforge
   
   BTW
   I may confirm several complains also on windows XP not only for VISTA ,here some reports

   thanks for the link to gimptalk, photocomix! the link to download 2.6.5 is already in the news - the users just need to click "download GIMP 2.6.5" - it is a direct download to the file on sourceforge!

   There is a problem with the download link. 3 attempts at downloading, I just kept winding up with incomplete files. Is there ANYwhere I can get this?? I'm sick of 2.6.6 barfing all the time!

   This one actually works: http://www.filehippo.com/download_the_gimp/download/028c033cc162f8e35537c730d623bc6f/

   sourceforge just worked for me, but i think the servers sometimes break the connection as it seems... thanks for the alternative link Sir_Alain

   @devv
   
   i know how to find but many seems able to find only the link for the last installer.
   
   and to be honest the gimp sourceforge pages the first times visited look as a labirinth...
   
   Many even believe that there there is only the most recent installers

   @devvv: You betcha!
   
   @photocomix: The filehippo link I posted seems to have links for all the previous versions, although the site is not all that intuitive. Just click the link to the ver you want, then hit the download button at the top.

   Hi, Gimp 2.6.6 is stable if you use the classic theme instead of the vista aero one.

    Nope Sorry. I've never used aero, and on Vista 32, 2.6.6
    crashes every time with....
    
    Open PNG image (with alpha)
    Open Colours/Brightness-Contrast
    
    Poof!
    
    Thanks for the 2.6.5 link, that works a treat.

    Never considered that Aero might be a factor... I have installed 2.6.5, and have had LESS problems. Gimp still hogs a lot of memory and crashes eventually, but not EVERY time I use it like .6 did.
