or even

http://puredata.info/downloads

is more easily readable because all the download links are grouped  
together and you can easily see the right one from the OS-icons....

maybe choose one version as the default download, e.g. SuperCollider-
With-Extras, which is what an average user will download, and put the  
vanilla SC3, SC-realized, SC-sourcecode etc. more down in the document.
