Generally old "pre-releases", ie EAs, betas, RCs, that kind of thing, are
not available, but full, final releases are.  I have a feeling some old
releases (pre-3.5.1) might not be available simply because I never got
around to importing their data in the downloads DB (we only started using
that schema around 3.5.1 timeframe).  I can do that if you need them (I
should do that anyway).

For resource reasons (disk space), old daily and Qbuilds are not kept too
long, AFAIK, though I'm not sure how long ... 

HTH.
