No. That could be part of the learning process for some tutorials, but in my case I wanted the tutorial to start from opening the program, not downloading it. In my class of five just over five mnutes was wasted downloading and installing Pure Data for four students.
If the proposed change means that I can save five or more minutes then I fully support moving the source code download to the bottom of the page
