@saivann I see you did part of this. Why drop the Windows zip, though? |

Windows 64bit & autodetect script: Done |

Windows zip: Open to suggestion, but adding 3 download links for Windows seems confusing, and one of them would float alone at the end of the list, which would kind of break the layout. We need either 6 download links or 8 download links. |

Here are some icons, with various licensing options -- you could see if any of these are good and free enough: https://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=linux+icon If only half of Linux users use Ubuntu and that's not a made-up stat, IMHO that's a significant reason for using the tarball. If you need 8 links, how about making the link for the signatures its own link? And if it's not too hard, especially if you keep the PPA being shown for all Linux users, some small text on the big button indicating what it's giving you would be a significant improvement. |

Filing this as an issue because I don't have enough knowledge to make the changed myself...
The Windows 64-bit builds should be added to the download page. Probably we should change the default download button to the 64-bit download. The script at the bottom of the page should be updated to tell the difference between 32- and 64-bit Windows, and also the download button should have some small text indicating what version it leads to. Also, the script at the bottom of the page shouldn't react to seeing "Linux" by linking to the Ubuntu PPA -- non-Ubuntu Linux distros want the tarball, not a link to the PPA. If there's a way to detect Ubuntu specifically, great, but if not, Linux users should be given the tarball, with the PPA mentioned below.
