New download page #3

Hello,

When a new user is clicking the "Download" button in the main page of the website, this new user arrives on a complicated page: a white page with a lot of stuff, looks like it isn't the same website anymore, and furthermore, everything in English (it doesn't help those who doesn't speak it)

A new download page could be done, a clear, a simple one. For Windows Users, a not-so-little green "Download" button which makes the user download the 32-bits version. And the 3 other possibilities just below (64 bits; 32/64 bits below).

This page should keep the graphical charter of the website & the language preference made by the user…

Hi I came here just to file a bug report on exactly this. I don't think I could roll this out in an organisation without the download instructions being very easy. I know it might seem like a really minor thing to developers but this is really important and wouldn't take much time to do.

I disagree with this approach. You don't need to invest a lot of time making a new page or if you did make it a phase 2 approach. I recommend changing the download button to run some javascript that detects the user's operating system and downloads the correct binary. You can then place the github link below the download button like so for alternatives..

Either way could you provide some direction on what you would accept on this issue so that contributors don't waste time making something that would end up as a rejected pull request. Thanks for your efforts, the website looks great!
