May you reflect downloads of only 32-bit and 64-bit?

When programs have both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, the word "download" is replaced with "32-bit | 64-bit".
But https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=942, for example, has only a 32-bit download, but there's no way to know that from this site's screen.
Likewise https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=2169, for example, has only a 64-bit download, but there's no to know that from this site's screen.

So if there's only 32-bit, can you just write "32-bit" instead of the word "download" and likewise "64-bit"?

Otherwise, people might download in vain something they can't run or run ineffiently.

I have uploaded the fix.

BTW, would it cost too much to make displaying ten entries the default instead of the current 5? It's the one thing I can't seem to make sticky and -- unless you're on a very small display, in which case you'd still have the 5-entry option -- doesn't make much sense to me...

It's actually quite easy to do, just that a default of 10 (to me) makes the front page appear too overwhelming to a casual browser.

Anyway, I will leave this here for another day to see if there are any objections. If not, I will make the switch to 10.

Alternatively, I think I can persist the setting to a cookie to make it stickier. Currently it uses a URL parameter "s=10", which I can see how it is not "sticky" enough.

Lemme know what you think.

Update: Changed default page size to 10. The selected page size is already saved in a cookie, so I am not sure why it is not sticky for you.

No objections here. I too think 5 programs by default is too few.
