If you really need to do this (which means, if you are *incapable* of
downloading the new version), you can set your system clock back. At least,
it worked for the 3.5 beta.

But as Thorsten said, there's really no reason to do that if you're capable
of downloading the new version. If you want to participate in the beta test,
then participate in the beta test - using an outdated beta version won't
help anyone. If you're not interested in beta testing, use 3.5.

If you choose to change your system clock, be sure to set it back before you
come posting on the POV-Ray newsgroups, or else you'll mess up your posting
times.
