Which Came First, the Download or the Downloader?

This Greenhouse business is ridiculous. Most downloader-type applications are. Do I really have to:

1. Download the Greenhouse installer (2.6M)
2.  Open the file only to have it immediately start downloading what I can only assume is the core of some bit-torrent-esque windows client (Indeterminate size)
3. Start the application to go download the FREE content I’m looking for

Has the world gone mad? I should be able to log on to a website, see a list of games I’ve purchased, and download them indiscriminately.

On the good side, it’s nice that they are thinking about OS X and Linux from the get go. Well, OS X anyhow.
