How to get a snapshot of old code with bitbucket?

I use bitbucket for VCS and I'd like to know how I get old versions of my project. I can browse the changesets but I don't know how I get a complete version like a snapshot of the project how it was last thursday and not just individual changesets. How can it be done? I've used github like that and it was a good function.

Bitbucket is not a VCS (nor is GitHub). They simply host a clone of your DVCS.

The easiest/best way to do what you ask is to use your local clone (or make a new one, see hg help clone) and then use hg update (or whatever) to get whatever version you want. (See hg help update.)

For people outside the project, if they don't want to use the DVCS directly for some reason, they can use Bitbucket's project download pages to download a tar-ball or zip file of tip or any tag or branch.
