It's a little bit more complicated. The way it was meant: When DOWNLOAD_x86_64 
is empty, use DOWNLOAD (indicating source is the same for both platforms), if 
filled (and not UNSUPPORTED/UNTESTED) use DOWNLOAD_x86_64 (different source per 
platform). And then there is also the rather rare case where DOWNLOAD could be 
UNSUPPORTED/UNTESTED (app works only on x86_64). This is also more or less how 
the website logic works when displaying download links to the sources.
