That link points to a simple, one-line text file in this ( directly accessible ) directory: Index of /XFree86/Linux-x86_64

You will see latest.txt if you scroll to the bottom of the listing.

Someone forgot to update the latest.txt file is all ( I saw this one other time ).

HTH.

yes I understand that kind sir. but that isn't latest stable. did you see the picture of the php seems they did not update the text 390.48 390.48/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.48.run
latest stable is 390.59 to handle new xorg been stable for a week.
I have a script that upgrades my systems and rebuilds NVIDA and intrid.img ok.
so I do not have to reboot to do that. and it relies on latest text ok. and for slackware current that 390.48 will not work.
wondering if NVIDA maintainer missed it like a while ago.

The latest.txt file was fixed today when I installed my new 4.4.134.kjh kernel:

Code:
# curl -s http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/latest.txt 

390.59 390.59/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.59.run
