I'm not surprised that 90% is 64 bit, I would expect users who get the
latest Vim also have recent hardware and plenty of memory. And "64 bit"
just sounds better than "32 bit".

It's indeed surprising there are many downloads for the zip files.
Perhaps there is some script at work?

Let's see how the signed version fares. I should try it myself...
