It's actually available on the release page of the mysql plugin, but actually fixing the problem rather than avoiding it, is always better.

The reason why no-one should be handing out links to "other" places is because ANYONE could make a virus/exploit in that compiled version.

By linking external sources, you encourage downloading, installing and running executables from non-verified sources.

Not to mention that the source should always be from the actual source (Due to it being someone elses work, and that source, will be where the updates are), not just from random places.


It's not because it's "not liked", it's because it's highly stupid, and dangerous.
