 The re-designed download-easy page (https://www.torproject.org/download
 /download-easy.html.en) has resulted in a 2x increase in monthly donations
 since deployment. Some thoughts to consider:

 1. move the donations button closer to the download button.
 2. Rework the page so the donations button is first, with a nice reason
 why donations are needed, but clearly state downloads are still free, and
 click the download button to skip a donation process
 3. Change the page flow so that downloads go to a donation request page
 first, and then after 10 seconds of no action, redirect to the download-
 easy page.
