Hi, I am transferring a site EE v1.6.1 to a new server but keep getting eregi deprecated errors, apparently this is because the new server has PHP v5.3.
Is there anywhere I can download any old version before 2.0 because this site has a lot of extensions/plugins which can’t be transferred to 2.0?

If you have a license for 2.x then you can download 1.7 from your download area - https://secure.expressionengine.com/download.php
Click on download for one of your 2.x purchases and it then gives the option beneath the license agreement to select either 2.x, 2.x Beta or 1.x
Don’t know if that’s what you’re after though?
Best wishes,
Mark

Mark is spot on about how to download EE 1.7. Thanks Mark!
As for EE 1.6.1, within the EE 1 line you can download only the latest version available, we do not make older versions available. With that said, you have the 1.6.1 files, so I suspect that 1.7 is the right path for you to try.
We do recommend either updating and making sure that works then moving; or the reverse, moving then making sure that works before updating. Not both at once because then if something goes wrong, it’s going to be far harder to track down the problem. You might consider upgrading on the old server before you move it to the new server (since it doesn’t work on the new server).
