Good idea to use his phrase, that way you won't be putting words in his mouth.

Hosted download of putty is 32-bit. Tell us beforehand!

Thanks for making it easy for users to obtain putty. However, after 4 years of non-updates, I was surprised to see that he had released 0.61.

Unfortunately (for me) the version you're hosting is the 32-bit version. The application will not run in a 64-bit environment.

Please update https://winscp.net/eng/downloads.php#putty to reflect that the version you are hosting is the 32-bit version. Maybe something like (bolded to highlight the difference, not actually for the web page update):

Executable (32-bit, 0.5 MiB)
Installation package (32-bit, 1.8 MiB)

Thanks!

P.S. And THANK YOU for your ongoing work on such a useful universal file transfer program. I'll go donate right now!
