Also, do you think the ad I put in the top right is too distracting?
Looks good. The only issues I have with it are related to the affiliates. There is nowhere on the main page a statement of which affiliate is being used for the testing. That is important in explaining to people why they aren't getting the firmware delivered to their device. With that, the "Other versions" button should be "Other affiliates". When I clicked that button, I was actually expecting a list of older versions. And with the way it is, if all affiliates are delivering the same version, then a message stating that would be better than the list of identical versions. Having the list does imply there is a reason for it and that the firmware might be different.

It would be good to include some other information or links to it. For example, a link to the MR Wiki page with the list of all firmware versions. That has links to download the older firmware and to discussion about them. And I think a link to more details installation instructions. Strictly, what you have is enough, but there plenty of posts here from people who have done the wrong thing based on similar instructions here.
