bitcoin.org has no reason to use https as nothing important is being sent or recived its just a link to sourceforge. https is only really used when private info is getting swapped usernames and passwords.

alsoon the bitcoin.org website it looks like the sizes are the wrong way round .zip sould be 9MB as its compressed and .exe should be 13MB as its raw and not compressed

overall the file is safe

bitcoin.org is not encrypted, or https, that worries me.  when you download the newest bitcoin wallet 0.8.5, the file is supposed to be ~9mb but when you go to the sourceforge.net, the file is like 11.1mb.

after installing it, the bitcoin wallet keeps closing on its own during updating the blocks.

Could someone knowledgeable look into this?
