I understand your feelings, but if you can't compile it yourself, you
have to depend on something someone has compiled for you.  But then how
many other programs do you have for which you haven't/can't compile?
And even if you do compile it yourself - are you sure someone hasn't
added something to the source code?  Without going though line for line
and understanding what every line does, you can't be sure.

But as to your question - I download them from the respective sites.  If
they don't have Windows binaries, they have sites they recommend where
you can get the files.  I figure it's the safest way.
