 During the UX Sprint, several of the users found alternate download pages
 other than download-easy, and became confused. If you search for Tor,
 download Tor, or Tor Browser, you get one of the following links:

 https://www.torproject.org/download/download
 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en
 https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html

 Each of these has a different flow for downloading Tor Browser, and all
 but download-easy caused users to stop and become confused. I personally
 think https://www.torproject.org/download/download should simply redirect
 to download-easy, and the
 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en page should remove
 the matrix and either behave like download-easy, or its download button
 should take the user to download-easy.

 We will still need some place to put installation instructions, and the
 alpha downloads, but those should be broken off into different pages that
 replace the outdated mess in
 https://www.torproject.org/docs/documentation.html.en.
