Correct. That is the GIT repository for the source code. The sourceforge ones have compiled binaries. bitcoind is the headless version. bitcoin-qt is the GUI version. The full client will download the entire blockchain, which is ~16GB now. This can take days. Not everyone use the full client. But being one is good for the network. You will play a part in relaying blocks and transactions. |
Did you find my posts helpful? Did I say say something nice? Your generosity is much appreciate.

Downloading bitcoin-qt is the quick part. Once you start bitcoin-qt you will need to keep it running and wait for it to sync.
It will download the blockchain from the network.
Once it has done that you should keep it running so that it can stay in sync with the network.
If you stop it and start it again later it will have to catch up with the network.

That should be obvious from the feedback visible in the Windows GUI. I think you'd have to be thick as a post to not see that it's syncing with the network, but maybe not. |

Do you mean look at the blockchain transactions directly? https://blockchain.infoOr look at the language code Bitcoin-Qt is made from? https://codeload.github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/zip/master |
