I noticed. I can't browse the download section either. I suppose Jose-Luis is securing the server (which is a good thing). If we can't access the folder we should provide some other way to browse the packages. > > It also seems that windows binaries are packed as .tar.gz - could we make > them .zip?

But we agreed early in the packaging support development to go with tar.gz across all platforms since few modern archiving tools for windows doesn't support tar.gz. I recommend http://www.7-zip.org/ That said - windows has inbuilt support for zip archives so I can see where you are coming from. On the other hand if you are doing development of any kind you'll need some archiving tool sooner or later and 7-zip is pretty good (open, support for many formats, simple (gui and usage), small footprint). It's all I need (right now at least).
