    Win: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/17/Dropbox%200.6.416.exe
    
    Mac: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/17/Dropbox%200.6.416.dmg
    
    Linux x86_64: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-0.6.416.tar.gz
    
    Linux x86: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86-0.6.416.tar.gz

    
    

    For an error free install on Linux, first make sure Dropbox is stopped by choosing "Stop Dropbox" from the tray icon menu. Then run the following commands in your home directory:

    
    

    $ rm -r .dropbox-dist/
    
    $ tar xzf dropbox-lnx.x86_64-0.6.416.tar.gz # or x86

    
    

    Then start Dropbox again from Nautilus. :)
