I totally agree with you on the spam fest that is common with a lot of companies. However this registration will only be used to inform users that there is a new version or security issue. Also, similarly to how the MySQL downloads you have the option of logging in and downloading or just ‘take me to the downloads’ – although in this case the user has to download from google code. But like you said, no perfect method.

Blame companies who reckon spamming is a neat idea.
Once you register, you get a barrage of crap.

I do appreciate the problem though… no magic answers.
