Downloading Wand
When downloading Wand, what I get is a downloader application some 155KB in size. Please let users download the actual installer that little downloader tool would download.
This will make it more trustworthy. And quicker to download, because it’s 1 download, not 2.
I know it’s trendy to offer a tiny download tool that downloads the installer, but it’s wasted effort. If you would just offer users to download the actual installer, you don’t need to maintain that little downloader program.
Thank you for your understanding.

That’s a fair point honestly. The downloader is designed to automatically obtain the latest version, but I understand that having a direct installer might seem simpler and more reliable. I will share your feedback with the team and appreciate your thoughtful input.
