Bug Description

Symptoms
========

Figuring out the url for downloading a file requires visiting the files page and copying the url.

e.g. for http://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/ubuntu/ubuntu-font-family-sources/view/head:/Ubuntu-R.ttf the download url is http://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/ubuntu/ubuntu-font-family-sources/download/head:/ubuntur.ttf-20100928071143-jx8zh0fl52889bxt-26/Ubuntu-R.ttf

If there is a more direct URL it is not documented or hinted at in the web UI.

@gmb we don't use medium. At all. See BugTriage in the dev wiki.
