What do you mean not able to download directly? The download button didn't work? Which browser (and version) and OS are you on?
Currently on a laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate (don't hate people... lmao) and tried it on Chrome 31.0.1650.63 m. The download button was there, but when I clicked nothing happened and the only option was to click for the hash verification.
I see now that I also get through using
http://localhost:7874/update.html, but can't test the download because I am already running the new version.
Can you edit the file, it's in webapps/root/update.html --
Just remove the backslashes // in front of:
//installedVersion = '0.4.7';
in the compareVersions function. This will allow you to test download again.
