[buddypress-dev] weird download links on trac

[Andy Peatling]

Your best bet by far is SVN as you can easily keep up to date with  
changes (it's changing all the time) and check out the code remotely.

But yes, if you use the zips you will have to download and then  
upload. You can download 1 zip file at the bottom of this screen that  
will give you everything:

http://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk

Zip files are the only way as the code is all in the SVN repository  
and not sitting on a server somewhere. I'm not sure what difference  
just pointing to the files would make in any case - you'd still need  
to download and then upload.
