The *ready to use installer* is available at:

http://ftp.gpg4win.org/Beta/gpg4win-2.1.0-beta1.exe.sig
or using the ftp protocol at:
ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/Beta/gpg4win-2.1.0-beta1.exe (39M)

The second file is a digital signature of the the first file.
Either check that this signature is fine or compare with the checksums given
below.

56eb7d0549439bf247c5b8feaa622bcddba8bd40 gpg4win-2.1.0-beta1.exe
0c2985e261e59a84b48e53296395beb0db5a6b13 gpg4win-light-2.1.0-beta1.exe
0013f609b079edcef4d52973e3fe50f572eecea3 gpg4win-src-2.1.0-beta1.exe

Developers who want to *build an installer* need to get the following
files from http://ftp.gpg4win.org/Beta/ :
gpg4win-2.1.0-beta1.tar.bz2 (10M)
gpg4win-2.1.0-beta1.tar.bz2.sig
A separate installer with the source files used to build the above
installer is available at:
ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/Beta/gpg4win-src-2.1.0-beta1.exe (262M)
ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/Beta/gpg4win-src-2.1.0-beta1.exe.sig
Most people don't need this source installer; it is merely stored on
that server to satisfy the conditions of the GPL. In general it is
better to get the gpg4win builder tarball (see above) and follow the
instructions in the README to build new installers; building the
installer is not possible on Windows machines and works best on current
Debian GNU/Linux systems. For details see:
http://gpg4win.de/build-installer-gnulinux.html
If you have problems downloading the above files, you may try the mirror
server listed at the download page.
We like to thank the authors of the included packages, the NSIS authors,
all other contributors and first of all, those folks who stayed with us
and helped testing Gpg4win.
+++ To help furthering this project, please consider to sponsor the
development. Thank you! See http://www.gpg4win.org . +++
With best regards
your Gpg4win Development Team
