The main changes are:

* All mirrors are listed under 'Download From'.

* Screenshots moved over to the right, and are different.

* Other Links and such moved under Screenshots.

* Reviews format has changed a bit

Basically, it fills in most of that blank width space on the files pages... which I found annoying. Let me know which parts of the new format are good/bad... if there are no bad points mentioned, it will probably be applied to the main pages tomorrow.

It looks good! But it's harder to find the mini reviews.. Or maybe that's just me..

Use it though

It is probably just me, but it just doesn't seem as tidy as it is now. The current format seems cleaner and easier to navigate. On the plus side, I guess it does tie in better to the rest of the site...

Any fool can use a computer. Many do. 
Hmm, I dunno. It looks crowded...

Yeah, I prefer the old one. It makes it easier to look at reviews.

Looks good to me. You might want to draw more attention to the links to download it though. Chances are that's why someone went to the page after all, it should be easy to find.

The way that the reviews fill the whole side to side space and have large black is rather oppressive to my eyes and actually make it very hard for me to read them. You should bring back the silver line between reviews back and put some spacing on the reviews sides to make it less overwhelming.

Also the fact that the screen shot and the name, download link, Dmod type, etc... are one separate sides distracts me and I can't get a feel for the Dmod from the page without really concentrating. Maybe put the DOTM, DOTY, and patch link under the walkthrough link and the screen shot under the description or vice versa.

either way as it is now is just not easily readable.
