<title>Using the Downloads Page</title>
<para>
The
<ulink url='&YOCTO_HOME_URL;'>Yocto Project Website</ulink>
uses a "Downloads" area from which you can locate and download
tarballs of any Yocto Project release.
Rather than Git repositories, these files represent snapshot
tarballs.
<note><title>Tip</title>
The recommended method for accessing Yocto Project
components is to use Git to clone a repository and work from
within that local repository.
The procedure in this section exists should you desire a
tarball snapshot of any given component.
