If Dropbox is used to distribute Windows binaries,
I suggest that any announcement of a new distribution
contain a URL that anybody can use, without Javascript.
That will make it more convenient for many users.

For example, here's a URL that works for the
latest such (unofficial) distribution.

https://dl.dropbox.com/sh/7jr3vbv9tm1zod0/0erq5hCrsa/emacs-trunk-r110346-w32-i386.zip?dl=1

Here's a shell transcript to illustrate that this URL
works for me, without JavaScript:

$ curl -O 
'https://dl.dropbox.com/sh/7jr3vbv9tm1zod0/0erq5hCrsa/emacs-trunk-r110346-w32-i386.zip?dl=1'
