## Experimental Downloads
To download experimental versions of TShock, you have two real options: AppVeyor builds or GitHub builds. You can also get archived Travis CI builds. Fair warning though: experimental versions of TShock are point-in-time releases that are not technically supported by us. If you have to report an issue, please make it clear which commit or branch you downloaded your build from, which service, and the build number if applicable.
On [AppVeyor](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/hakusaro/tshock/), click on history, find the build you want, click on the commit message, and then click on the artifacts tab. You can download either the debug or the release build. AppVeyor only keeps builds back 6 months though.
On [GitHub](https://github.com/Pryaxis/TShock/), click on the actions tab, then click on "build server" on the commit or branch you want. If it was successful, you can download "TShockRelease" under the artifacts section to get that build artifact.
For old builds from Travis CI, you can still get them (for now) from us directly, on [our Travis CI artifact mirror](https://travis.tshock.co/). Please note that these builds should be considered legacy and for archival purposes only. If you need them in the long term, please raise an issue explaining why before they are removed.
