I think the best approach, which matches what most websites for software products do, is to have a top-level link called Download which presents a page of downloads, e.g. old, release, beta, and alpha versions. In the fossil use-case, I suggest add a main page at the same level as Home, Files, Leaves, etc. called Download. On that page would be a list of leaves with zip download links next to them. Essentially, this would duplicate the Leaves page but save users the effort of drilling down to each leaf to find the zip file. If this Download page could also be in-lined seamlessly with a built-in wiki page for downloading pre-built binaries, that would be slick.
