It seems they removed all previous versions, which is why Willy told you up
update the SlackBuild's VERSION to run 25.8.7. Unfortunately, we can't do
anything if upstream removed the download unless you happen to find a copy
somewhere that can be uploaded to sbodirectlinks...

But that shouldn't be needed since it seems Willy has already tested the
newer version. To get this working, you just need to update that code block
I mentioned in the SlackBuild to be able to run it against the newer 25.8.x
version.
