I am not sure if you looked at the mockups, but they have less to do 
with the function of the download button, but with the look of the 
download page itself and the links shown on the page.

I have left my impression of what is suggested and I thought that Harald 
presented some good points for us (the website team) to think about 
improving the download page that we now have. (And also some other 
thoughts for the new Download v.4.0 page!)

IMO, we should have the discussion here on the list. I am not sure if 
Harald's bug should be in bugzilla, IMO, we could have the discussion 
here on the website list as, again, it has more to do with 
webmastering/designing the download page than that of developer work. I 
don't think it needs dev work at all.

Cheers,

Marc
