It is to place on record here for posterity and forking of their services so that it removes some developmental drudgery and saves me the time of having to upload zips each time the code changes in some extension. In future the url to the repo's subfolder would suffice.

Differences:

The Zip file size from each link varies. eg., for the import_items module:

DownGit - 30882 bytes
GitZip - 30624
7-Zip of folder in Windows - 9303 bytes

Either some payload is being introduced or the compression level is poor from the web site offerings.

When using the FA24Extensions repo (or any Git repo), if you want just one extension, it is advisable to paste the folder URL into GitZip to get it. It is written using jQuery and is available on GitHub.

To vreate a download link to a specific Git subfolder, paste the URL into DownGit and get it. It is written in javascript and is available on GitHub.
