The current version of rxvt-unicode is 9.26. The upstream site has all the old versions available going back decades, but they are in a directory called Attic. The AUR package you use needs to be updated to either point at the Attic URL if it needs an old version or the current version if it can do that. I suggest commenting to this effect on the AUR package.
Also, since it's been a while since you looked around, and as a 10+ year user of URXVT myself can I suggest there are some better alternatives these days? Alacritty would be my top suggestion, but but no means the only good one.
Caleb Thank you, Caleb, for a quick answer! But how to reach this directory (and URxvt tarballs within it)? — What is the actual URL for it? — I’ve tried some combinations but with no luck: in general I get very long timeouts in a web browser trying to reach that website [1] and even cURL responses from it like the following, timed out too: $ curl -I http://dist.schmorp.de curl: (28) Failed to connect to dist.schmorp.de port 80 after 128869 ms: Connection timed out $ $ curl -I http://dist.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/rxvt-unicode-9.26.tar.bz2 curl: (28) Failed to connect to dist.schmorp.de port 80 after 130024 ms: Connection timed out $ $ curl -I http://schmorp.de HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2021 19:54:41 GMT Server: Apache/2.4.48 (Debian) mod_perl/2.0.11 Perl/v5.32.1 Location: http://www.schmorp.de/ Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 $ $ curl -I http://software.schmorp.de curl: (28) Failed to connect to software.schmorp.de port 80 after 129540 ms: Connection timed out The affected AUR package’s page has already had a comment from the user called "natezb" that the version shoud be changed to 9.26 [2]; I’ve tried to change it in the PKGBUILD (and even manually type it in the tarball’s filename (when intended to download it directly), but with no luck — response timeouts still in effect on my side. What’s regarding your proposal instead of URxvt (Better Wheel Scrolling) — Alacritty [3] — I’d indeed, definitely have to try it out. Thank you for a suggestion.
