Any way to have wget-able download links for the .deb? Using a browser to go the dl page isn't that easy when on a server...

This isn't a great answer, but I think I owe you an honest one. Our marketing department wants to be able to throw the "please put your email here if you want" form up before a download. We are trying to find a way to reconcile our sales/marketing goals with what we know are our fellow engineers' needs and we hope to make downloads easier in the future. Providing packages at all, over just a single binary tarball, is a step in the right direction, I think.

For now the best I can do for you is tell you that if you email me I can hook you up. Short of that, if you search twitter for "severalnines wget" you can find a wget hack that achieves the result you want.

thank you for your honest answer. Some food for thought for your marketing department: I'm interested in your product, but because I can't easily incorporate it into a puppet script to install into my virtualbox dev environment like I can with MongoDB, I'm probably gonna pass on it for now.
