+1 for Rob's idea to minimize links from the download page;
Especially the links on the right column.
We can make some HTML sketches for this, and here's an idea (I hope you'll
see the formatting) to open download in a new tab, and move all links to
appear below the download link. E.g.,
*Download **Apache OpenOffice 4.0.1 *for Linux 64-bit (RPM) and Deutsch
from Sourceforge.net, ~175 MB | Last updated: 2013-Oct-01
Need *another version*?
It's not possible/suitable to have more than 1 link in the green box.
That's the reason why we have a little one below the big one.
BTW:
I'm working on a new solution for the "Need another version?" problem. ;-)
*While you download... *(shown only after a click?)
links/info about extensions, templates,
how to participate/help OpenOffice,
how to stay updated,
...
That means only when someone is downloading the software he can see the
links? Doesn't make sense to me.
Better would be to re-think which links can be moved to another place
where they make more sense or to deleted some completely.

Or maybe a simple "Downloads served by SourceForge, trusted for open

Yes, I understand that, but I'm fearing the Joe Averages won't get the
meaning of "served by" or read it and continue reading without stopping
to
think what it implies, and will freak out at the redirect nevertheless...
If we had a simple, clean page, I think users would be less confused.
The more we load up the page with text and links, trying to be
helpful, the more users will be overwhelmed and doubt themselves. I
think we're far past the over-saturation point on the download page
already. I count 67 links on the page already. Mozilla manages to
help users download Firefox with only three links in addition to the
download itself: "Systems& Languages", "What's New" and "Privacy".
