Where can I find the upgrade files from 1.7.3 - 2.5? All you see around is 1.5 and 2.5 packages.

Went through the upgrade instruction thinking that I can find a link there but no luck.

If you have the latest 1.7 version, you can upgrade to Joomla 2.5.4 by using the Extension Manager
and installing a full Joomla 2.5.4 installation package.
After you've done that, you might have to "Fix Database" (also in the Extension Manager).

Note: before such major changes it's recommended to back-up your website (files+database).

I just need the link to the download page for upgrading from 1.7.3 - 2.5

I have spent couple of hours looking around...with no luck.

Trust me I did. All you have in that topic is how to upgrade using the extension manager or the upgrade future in Joomla. That method is not working for me so what I want to do is upgrade manually by using FTP to upload the files to my site.

The issue I am having is locating the upgrades files from 1.7.3 - 2.5 most of what you see around is 1.5 - 2.5. It seems 1.7 disappeared.
