I would expect the top result for http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=download+jython to be the download page for the latest jython, i.e. 2.5, whose URL is

http://www.jython.org/downloads.html

But instead the top result is the download page for the old versions, i.e. 2.1 and 2.2

http://www.jython.org/download.html

Notice "downloads" vs. "download".

We need to sort this out. Either

A: Make both "downloads.html" and "download.html" point to the download page for the latest jython, and move the older releases to a different page, such as "archive_downloads.html"

B: Make both the old and new releases available from both download pages.

If we want people to realise that there is a jython 2.5, then we have to show it to them when they search for "download jython".

Josh is about to deploy a redirect from download to downloads.
