Re: [Gimp-developer] wtf with the download?

[C R <cajhne gmail com>]

The first link in the download section for windows downloads a torrent link
file, which users may not be familiar with.
The second link direct-downloads the Windows install file from
download.gimp.org

Is the torrent listed first to save bandwidth on download.gimp.org?
If not, maybe we should offer up the direct download executable first to
avoid confusion (and ranting and name-calling, apparently, lol).

Generally I find most sites make dedicated button-looking graphics for
various kinds of downloads.
I would be happy to make some up to disambiguate the downloading links, for
our less torrent-savvy users.

Thoughts?
