Reply: (edit)There is no website that is set up to do what you say. Sometimes if you Google around for specific programs you can find a zip version rather than an exe version but mostly they they all use the same file. I'm wondering why you are asking. Is it a download speed or server issue? Otherwise maybe we can work out a way around your problem. DerekW

Reply: (edit)As a general rule you should download a file in a zip format. The zip spec offers a bit of file protection. It is not near as good as a MD5checksum but it saves a few people from bad downloads and maybe a few bits.
