It's the #2 most popular download right on the Microsoft site. If that link doen't work dor you, go to mocrosoft.com -> Downloads -> Internet -> IE 6 SP 1

Internet Explorer 6 is the current version.

a couple of years ago, msft settled a lawsuit with sun, which partially said that Microsoft would no longer distribute a version of the JVM that sun did not like. That led to microsoft pulling all versions of IE that included a jvm.

Thats why you cant find older versions on MSFT's site. Evolt should work. I fortuitously saved an old CD from MSDN that had IE5.x versions on it. It has come in handy lots of times.
