In the http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/files/
I found old description:


Binary packages for Windows
    4.6.5 final release versions not here yet
    testing version (gp465-win32-mingw-rc1) available in testing folder

The above should be replaced by the corresponding part of 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/files/gnuplot/4.6.5/

Binary packages for Windows
    gp465-win32-setup.exe   Windows binary installer
    gp465-win32.zip         Windows binary zip package
