  2. Click "Download package"
  3. Get nothingness

This is what we can do. Each package can build multiple binaries, depending on many factors like arch, distribution and whatnot. It's basically not possible for us to guess what you want to download. So we stick to the basics.

We could add some context sensitive help or provide a dropdown with all links..

Hi @hennevogel thanks for the quick reply. i understand that and i also think the idea is OK to offer all links via dropdown. however, in this case it would be helpful to have the option to set a certain link as the default.
