You can download it from internet as well but it can be a bit hit and miss from internet as it does not always work. I have done both internet and e-bay. I think the difference between 4.* and 5.* is how it handles database, 5.* moved to Microsoft SQL server. I suppose there should be some benefits from it but it takes longer to install and eats up more space on disc. It seams ( but I could be wrong) that if you installed data for 2 brands like VW and Audi on 4.* it would only keep 1 copy of data that was the same for both brands but on 5.* it keeps full copy for each brand.

I have also found that these un-official copies can vary in data they contain, one will be missing one data and other will be missing something else. Also it looks like there is a lot less info for newer cars as it was moved over to ODIS and erwin.
