Thank you for the suggested changes. I think that the following comment should also be included in the OTC section (it is in the OTF and subset OTF sections), and the ZIP files should remain as-is (meaning two of them with multiple weights):
If you only need specific weights, download individual files from the OTC directory.
Done. I will make a comparable change to the README.md file in the Source Han Sans release branch later today.
The current download readme and the download guide is still too much text and complicated in my opinion.
I would suggest reworking the download page to be more user-friendly. In particular:
Since Super OTC will eventually be the preferred format of Source Han (Sans or Serif) installations, at least on desktop system, I think it's best to put them as the first one on the page.
It's good to also mention the OS requirements just above the links on the readme, since it plays a big role on choosing which format to download. (TODO: mention also Linux/Unix requirements. Since there are so many distributions out there, it's better to mention the FreeType and fontconfig versions instead.)
OTCs should be packed as one ZIP file per weight, instead of multiple weights together. Reason: Users who would download these are probably people who only need specific weights. And the ZIP files aren't solid compression, so there's little size saving when they were packed together. Packing them as individual weights would help user same bandwidth if he needs, for example, only Regular and Bold.
Below is the download readme page I would propose:
