First off, I don’t get why there is such a long and unhelpful discussion here.
Pascal, we have downloads in zip. The problem here seems to be that the page http://owncloud.org/install is broken again (Wordpress problems on the server). Sorry for the issues. Does anyone know the zip download link off the top of their head?
