I like the idea in general as well and Kay provided some good ideas already to improve the structure. We should use the drop down boxes to for older releases as well. Means a further drop down box where the user can select the version, default is always the latest and greatest. For example for 4.1 we can drop the 32 bit version for Mac to avoid confusion. The link 'Get all platforms, languages, language packs' can be potentially removed completely if we allow the selection of the product.
