How to download source code from code.google.com

Navigate to http://downloadsvn.codeplex.com/ and click the download button.
After clicking the download button, you will download a zip file, the zip file contains an executable.
Extract the zip file and execute the executable.

You will get a window like this:

What should we enter in the source URL?
For this example I'm going to use  the recaptcha project (https://code.google.com/p/recaptcha/).
By navigate to the source page (https://code.google.com/p/recaptcha/source/checkout), it will be clear which URL we have to use.
The URL we have to use is this one http://recaptcha.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/.

After filling in the source URL, we can define a folder where all the source files will be downloaded to.
When you chose a target folder we have to define the download type, to download from google code we have to set the type to "SVN"

Example with all the settings:

Once everything is filled in we can press the start button.
After completing the download you receive a notification on your screen:

When you navigate to the target folder you will see that all the downloaded files are available.

Have fun with the source code.
