[racket-dev] Pre-Release Checklist for v5.3

I just tried downloading the Racket package for Windows (x86, 64-bit), 
and it worked for me. Can you try again and let me know if it still 
fails? Also, if you can't download from the form, can you try the 
"static table" link (just under the usual download form, on the right 
side) and see if you can download it from the link on that page?

Thanks,
Ryan
