I just tried to download and get the same issue.
The URLs I followed were:
http://pidgin.im/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin/files/Pidgin/pidgin-2.7.0.exe
http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/pidgin/Pidgin/2.7.0/pidgin-2.7
.0.exe
I got a 8.7 MB big file.
During installation I get this:
---------------------------
Pidgin 2.7.0 Setup
---------------------------
Error Downloading the GTK+ Runtime :
http://pidgin.im/win32/download_redir.php?version=2.7.0>k_version=2.16
.6.0&dl_pkg=gtk
---------------------------
Retry Cancel
---------------------------
Another thing: After this error the install continues, giving an
unusable Pidgin installation.
Wouldn't it be better to abort the installation if GTK can not be
downloaded?
And last: waht is the URL of the working setup?

David
