That information is available on the Downloads page.
There are two ways to get to this page:
The "Downloads" link in the menu on the left or the "More Downloads (Source, 
Development,...)" link in the Download frame on the top right of the home 
page. Simply following one of these links will give a more detailed list of 
download options, including the all downloads on sourceforge (last link on the 
page). In my opinion that is accessible enough.

I'm not sure it would be a good idea to the full sourceforge information on 
the main page. I feel it would only clutter the page and confuse people that 
are less tech savvy. The "More downloads" link should in my opinion be a 
sufficient hint that there are more downloads available for someone that is 
searching for those.
