I also favour a link directly to an exe. I don't use BitTorrent. I don't 
have any machine with a BitTorrent client on it. When I'm downloading 
Open Source programs from the net I look for the direct download. If all 
I see is a file sharing link (BitTorrent, ed2k, or similar), I will go 
else where to download the program or I will look for a different 
program to do the same job as the one I was after.
