Let me know if you have troubles in getting it to work.

In fact, that /download URL points to a single servlet - its just if you POST with "installer=true" (or pass it in as a GET query string) you'll get the installer instead. We could change this if need by (say "/download" for the agent distro, and "/installer" for the installer).
