How to install older versions of Android via the SDK Manager?

I downloaded the Android SDK from here, as suggested by all tutorials.

I downloaded Android v4.0.3 (API 15) via the SDK manager, but it won't allow me to download older SDK/API versions, e.g 2.2?

I found this Stack question, but when i try and download one of the packages, it just 404s.

I have a single repository setup in the SDK Manager:

https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml

What am i doing wrong?

Download the lastest version of SDK manager by using Eclipse Help->Check for updates. Once the sdk manager is updated, it will show all the older sdks

My SDK manager shows that it is using

https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/addon.xml

for back versions of the SDK. Make sure you have the latest version of the Android tools (it's up to 20 as of a few days ago).

So you can't check the boxes next to the other api versions ?

In the Android SDK Manager you should be able to download it. For 2.2 that is api 8, so you would check the folder or just the sdk platform for api 8 and install.
