I was about to bring this topic up because tonight a user on the IRC channel was battling to download the win32 0.9.8 binary. Can't we have direct links to the files on the mirrors much like other download sites? Example : Ready to Run Windows Binaries (Updated for v0.9.8) * Download the self extracting/installing fgsetup-0.9.8.exe. Mirror 1 : fgsetup-0.9.8.exe Mirror 2 : fgsetup-0.9.8.exe Mirror 3 : fgsetup-0.9.8.exe What about a BitTorrent download option as an alternate download source? BitTorrent is great for distributing large files efficiently. I'm more than willing to keep a BitTorrent client running serving up FG files (although I have a slow connection) and I'm sure there are others here who would do the same.
