[Legacy] 1.5.2 FML broken due to dead link to deobfuscation data

Hello,

feeling particularly nostalgic I've dug up a couple old Minecraft directories of saves and mods, and have been trying to get them running.

I've however run into some issues with version 1.5.2 in particular, and am stuck on an invalid checksum error:

When trying to just download the file at https://files.minecraftforge.net/fmllibs/deobfuscation_data_1.5.2.zip all I get is a 404, implying that perhaps the link is just dead, the file no longer hosted there. The fact that the error message is reporting having downloaded a file with a mismatched checksum makes me question that to some extent though.

I've also stumbled across this issue on the Github, which is close to a perfect match for the issue I am experiencing here. However deleting /lib/deobfuscation_data_1.5.2.zip from my minecraft directory has not made any impact.

I'd be grateful for any insights anyone here might have, or even if anyone can download forge for 1.5.2 and confirm that it's not just some issue with my installation specifically.
