I guess it's about the UX. You let the user see what's going to be downloaded and provide some info about it (Version, OS, etc.)

Also if you have a bunch of mirrors for the file, you can choose which one is going to be used based on the download speed (for this one you'd need a long-running (1+ sec) test), geolocation, ip, etc.
