The 1.51 one pops the following error after agreeing to the licenses:
---------------------------
Boost C++ Libraries 1.51 Setup
---------------------------
Failed to download mirror list, all downloadable content has been
disabled.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Additionally, would it be possible to give the 32-bit and 64-bit
installers disjoint filenames and preferably mention in the installer
somewhere which bitness it installs?

It's currently impossible to deduce after having downloaded both which
installer does what, if you even manage to download them both without
clobbering the other one.
