aur is failing to build this for me today in manjaro
==> ERROR: Failure while downloading https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/4.8/4.8.7/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.7.tar.gz
I've checked the link and it doesn't seem to be working either.
I've even tried digging a bit for a link
https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/4.8/
and they don't seem to be working for qt4

@semeion,
qt4 was expelled from the official repositories due to https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2019-April/029560.html
It will not be restored, because software needs to stop using qt4. It's fine for people to still use it via the AUR if they have old software that is not ported, but the proper solution is to get that software ported to qt5.
"It takes a long time to compile" is not a reason to move it to community.
@xuanruiqi,
Only Developers and Trusted Users have access to pkgbuild.com, and we will not be uploading qt4 there. If we wanted qt4, we would upload it to community, but we don't -- we have managed to move every package still being actively maintained in the official repos, over to qt5, and we want to stay that way.
...
Again, the proper long-term solution is to get software ported over to qt5.
