This particular design is getting more common around the web.

Apple's iTune download page <http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/> have a
big button that reads "Download Now," then at the bottom of the page they
have two small links:

        64-bit editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7 require the iTunes
64-bit installer
and
        G3 Mac Users

Google Chrome <http://www.google.com/chrome/> has a big button that read
"Download Google Chrome", right below they have "It's free and installs in
seconds
For Windows XP, Vista, and 7," then at the bottom of the page, in small:

        Chrome for Mac or Linux · Chrome Beta

Sourceforge <http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/> have a big button
"Download Inkscape-0.48.1…exe", and then below "Other Versions, Browse all
files"

etc.
