Well it is the recommended way - I can see why you wouldn't point everyone to dd unless you wanted to deal with the 'You deleted my hard drive!!' complaints when someone gives the wrong device for the destination - so I am not surprised that the installers had 84 downloads in the past week vs 155 for the releases.

Given those numbers, you'd hope it actually worked and worked well or most of those 84 are going to look elsewhere.

Erm, I can't remember. It would install from one I downloaded manually, and I think it wasn't me who downloaded the PINN one.

It's certainly how I did it for the Pi2, albeit with a safe version of dd.
