The latest release is 1.71.0, available from SourceForge. For some
reason the JXClient is stuck at 1.60, I'm not sure why.

We haven't been keeping up with Windows builds for various reasons.
Windows support in the GTKv2 client has greatly improved since the last
build. You can find some experimental client binaries here:

http://partmedia.users.sourceforge.net/

They're not official because they're missing important pieces; in this
particular client build it's because metaserver support is missing.

Both are well-supported. We generally point Windows users to the
JXClient, but soon this will change.
