Display package types for downloads

Would be a neat idea I think to show on the downloads page, the package types for downloads so you can determine which download is a .zip or .exe etc. Might be helpful and save a little time instead of randomly downloading 3 different things to find the one you want

Well - if you hover over the download link, your browser will show the link - for example, with Firefox, on Windows you'll see this link string on the bottom left corner of the window - .zip, .msi and so on. Of course it would be way better to have some sort of boxes with text/icons in a column that clearly show which type of file you are about to download. But anyway, you don't have to currently DL a wrong file, but the UX could be a lot better.

Add a icon may be better

Yes, that is what I already said. Not sure who you are aiming this at TBH.
