Done in ed27373. Switched to layout: null so the page is now a complete minimal HTML document — the <meta http-equiv="refresh"> and <script> redirect both fire from <head> before any layout assets are requested. The URL also now uses the trailing slash /download/ throughout to avoid the extra 301 hop. Developer notes are preserved in an HTML comment at the end of the file.
