the changelog on our main page links the releases to the download

clicking on 2.065 links to:
http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2.x/2.065

which is a 404 right now. that looks kinda unprofessional

http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2.x/2.065.0/
which works..

Also why the overly complicated link? 
http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2.x/2.067.0/ should really be

I completely agree. What's really annoying is that betas are under 
"pre-releases". Personally I would dump everything directly under 
http://downloads.dlang.org like the DigitalMars FTP. It's way easier for 
tooling, like DVM. If one goes to http://downloads.dlang.org I would 
expect them to know what they're looking for so navigation is not really 
needed. The main download page is http://dlang.org/download.html.

Hmm, basically all links are broken here [1]. I've reported a bug [2].
