XPredit won't work, because you need to get it from RapidShare. These guys certainly have taken the appropriate measures to prevent automated downloading.
Otherwise, downloading Heidisql works fine for me, if you use the {build}-URL (although it is not possible to actually show the progress here). I'm not sure if it is possible to make use of the latest_build.php page, but I'll check it. Client side redirections are somewhat a problem.
And the column you are looking for is there, you only need to enable it.
