Overall I'm not sure that's an improvement, but it was the best I could come up with 2 years ago when ZODB stopped using SF for downloads. Please take a look at my attempt to solve that: putting a text just above the button.

Is it possible to make that URL a hyperlink?

It's also worth considering ways to make the alternate URL stand out more, as the green button is dominant enough that I'd expect a lot of people to miss the preceding text.

Something like:

" The Python programming language, an object-oriented scripting and rapid application development language. Despite what the green button below says, you can NOT download it directly from Sourceforge, as SF is used only for bug tracking. You can get releases from the main Python website:

<a href="http://www.python.org/download">Download from python.org

"

Cheers, Nick.
