Yes, because I know it could have been in one time.

As it is now, yes, because with too much information it is confusing.

I have first hand information that people don't read information. At least
not enough. The minority that does won't mind looking at an extra page. I
don't want to remove the information.

The way you go from the fromload page to the actual download is lack of
good documentation.

There are way too many unneeded choices to be made in the steps between
clicking 'download' and doing the actual download.

No, I want to simplify the process of going from the download button to
the actual download. Top me the download page is not a download page, it
is information about a download page.
In no way do I want to remove information. There is just too much at the
same time at the wrong time.

Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done,
and why. Then do it.
