Where to get Emacs for Windows?

Where to get Emacs for Windows?

[M. Damerell]

Looking in the obvious place:

ftp.gnu.org

the various readme files point to non-existent locations.
Eventually I found

ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs

and the latest version that actually exists is 19.34 which
must be some years old by now.  The directories like 21.3
contain lots of files with names like 

<something> back-RSN

but dated last August.  I tried 2 or 3 mirrors with similar
results. Please are there download sites with anything more
recent than 19.34?  Thank you.

Thank you who replied. I downloaded 21.3 from the site 
recommended by Peter Wu.  It seems to work; there are
some problems but I cannot ask about them as I 
think they are more-or-less covered in the FAQ files at

www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows
