Simple as possible is good. Currently, the situation is made more complex by there being two architectures (32/64 bit) and three choices of download (with deps, without, installer). That's a lot of files to choose from. Not so much of a problem for the snapshots, but for a full release, I think it is. I will think on it. The issue is that most times I want to change things, people say, "I prefer the old way"; so then we end up with two options. Phil
