That's a sourceforge thing, part of their new file management
setup -- it's the most recent file that goes there, and I'm not
aware of any way for a project to control that.

It is possible, however, for a project to set up a sort of
"meta-download" page -- a regular web page that provides links to
the most "important" files in the download area, organized
logically.  I think this would be nice to have on the mingw site.
