 The whole download page is tailored to Tor Browser. "Download in another
 language" for example is opening just a new site where one can download
 localized Tor Browser bundles.

 It's confusing that "Download Source Tarball" is suddenly giving a link to
 the Tor source code then. We should at least be a bit more explicit and
 write "Download Tor Source Tarball" *if* we want to have that one a
 download page that is essentially only for Tor Browser. Otherwise one is
 expecting the Tor Browser source tarball (which is nothing we offer right
 now).
