If you look more closely you'll see that there are 5 links on each line:

     Windows X86-64 MSI Installer (3.2.2)
     [1]
     (sig)
     Visual Studio debug information files
     (sig)

Unless you intending to work on the sources, you need just the first
one:

     Windows X86-64 MSI Installer (3.2.2)

for a 64-bit build of Python 3.2.2.
