Is there a way to download a previous version of a package with NuGet, not the latest one?

Bring up the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio - it's in Tools / NuGet Package Manager / Package Manager Console. Then run the Install-Package command:

Install-Package Common.Logging -Version 1.2.0

See the command reference for details.

Edit: In order to list versions of a package you can use the Get-Package command with the remote argument and a filter:

Get-Package -ListAvailable -Filter Common.Logging -AllVersions

By pressing tab after the version option in the Install-Package command, you get a list of the latest available versions.
