On the wiki page here: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Building_Blender/CUDA

It says that to build with CUDA, you need to download version 10.1 of the CUDA toolkit. It hyperlinks to https:*developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads , but this will redirect to the latest version. It should instead link to this page: https:*developer.nvidia.com/cuda-10.1-download-archive-base

This seems like a huge potential for a user to install the wrong version and not know it.

CUDA 10.2 works now, I've updated the documentation page.
