Latest versions can be found here.
Please keep in mind that probably only the latest version is functioning properly since the platforms evolve and from time to time change their data structures which makes changes in TumblThree necessary again. So update your application regularly.
Read our wiki page about Application Usage.
The default settings should cover most users. You should only have to change the download location and the kind of posts you want to download. You can find more information in our wiki Getting Started and Insights.
