Hello folks,

adding stable link via Internet Archive for documentation.

https://web.archive.org/web/20100710045254/http://www.corel.com/akdlm/6763/downloads/trials/GraphicsSuite12/CorelDRAWGraphicsSuite12.exe

When looking for app/game installer snapshots that have considerable size
always validate they are actually working. Several times I've encountered
snapshots for large payloads on archive.org that got truncated / corrupted for
whatever reasons.

One example here:

The first snapshots with 100 MB size are truncated and cause the installer to
exit immediately (loader). Always look for the largest ones first.
