spring-release-5.3.9-dist.zip can be found in jfrog before, but it suddenly disappeared this time. May I ask why and where else can I find this tool package

I think this is due to the repo.spring.io permission changes.
We have never published those resources on maven central. Maybe we can somewhat make that available in some other way. Right now, SNAPSHOT versions are still available on the snapshot repository here and here. They don't seem very popular these days and this is the first request we are getting for a very long time.
May I ask what's the main use case for downloading this on your side?

I used to download this for legacy application which manage dependencies manually.

To demonstrate the basic use of spring to students, introduce dependencies manually and then through maven. So I need to download this kit to get spring dependencies
I had version 5.3.9 of the toolkit and tried to download the updated version and found that it was no longer available on jfrog.
Now I know about the situation, and I don't have to ask for the latest version, thank you

Yeah distributing all dependencies as a zip is a bit outdated these days as we assume developers should download artifacts from maven central now. I'm closing this issue as a result.
