Yes, I can reproduce on Firefox 41.0.2 and Google Chrome 46.0.2490.80.

Why isn't it a good idea?  IMHO they are the same.  See:

* https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/blob/master/app/controllers/downloads_controller.rb
* https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/blob/master/lib/tasks/downloads.rake
* https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/blob/master/app/views/downloads/installers/index.html.haml

I don't know. But this mailing list is not the right place to report issues of git-scm.com. Please report it here: https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/issues/new

Thank you.
