I think subtleness is the key.  Ok, the rest is just elaboration - if
you think you got the idea, safely ignore it :)

Have the page look the same, but maybe have the download link read
"Download (Linux x86)" or "Download (Win32)" or whatever - it's the same
on first sight, but the difference remains visible.  Two notes:

- - Provide a "generic" download link, too, to let people download for a
different platform.  This should be an obvious idea.  The idea that
doesn't seem obvious at some pages though is that this should not be
much harder than clicking the auto-detected link.

- - The "(Linux x86)" should only be subtly different from "(Win32)".
Keep this information at normal font size or slightly smaller even as it
is not primary information (the "Download" is).

Greetings,
Felix
