The package links on www.eclipse.org/downloads all open in a new window/tab.  Is there a reason why a new window is needed to pick mirrors?

Personally i find that functionality useful, generally when i'm on a download page i want to queue up my download while i continue to surf the page i'm on.

I think this all comes down to personal preference.

Ok, but this is new behaviour for that page.  It has never done so before, and there was no request to add it.  Also, this is different behaviour from all the other download pages on our site.

target='_blank' has been removed from /downloads/ and /downloads/packages as to follow what the rest of the site does.
