Somewhy that zip link is awfully slow - download took 2m 12s (compare with Firebird-3.0.0.32366-ReleaseCandidate2.tar.bz2 at SF mirror, 24s) which is also far from ideal (I have 60 MBit/s connection) but a few times better than github. That's one more argument why I do not want to replace tarball with direct github download). But I see no problems providing both links, if people prefer github zip download let them use it. > BTW, a good info for README.md should be how to build (specially the > non-standard Windows procedure), as this is the most important thing > people looking there want to see.
