If Dropbox is used to distribute Windows binaries, I suggest that any announcement of a new distribution contain a URL that anybody can use, without Javascript. That will make it more convenient for many users.
For example, here's a URL that works for the latest such (unofficial) distribution. https://dl.dropbox.com/sh/7jr3vbv9tm1zod0/0erq5hCrsa/emacs-trunk-r110346-w32-i386.zip?dl=1 Here's a shell transcript to illustrate that this URL works for me, without JavaScript: $ curl -O 'https://dl.dropbox.com/sh/7jr3vbv9tm1zod0/0erq5hCrsa/emacs-trunk-r110346-w32-i386.zip?dl=1' % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 58.5M 100 58.5M 0 0 2168k 0 0:00:27 0:00:27 --:--:-- 2180k $ ls -l emacs-trunk-* -rw-r--r-- 1 eggert eggert 61421534 Oct 3 21:26 emacs-trunk-r110346-w32-i386.zip?dl=1 $ sha256sum emacs-trunk-* c5b0638dab82f3634dd2adee10097bad95801b2e28a050a706ec780024a2c6cd emacs-trunk-r110346-w32-i386.zip?dl=1
