Perhaps we need two pages.  We'll drop people to the initial page they'd
typically see (i386, ppc, whatever) basically what it is now.  Then we
make a nice ? icon or help icon and stick it all over that page, when
people click on it they go to more of a "download wizard".

This gives us two benefits.  1) we keep a simple page for people and 2) we
get to see how many people end up using the wizard.  If we find that the
click through is only 1% that at least tells us something, on the other
hand if we find out its 50% we know we need to account for these people
all over our site, not just download.
