    This past year I have observed that most all URLs for downloading software will bring up a screen that offers everything BUT what I wanted. Sometimes the desired download might be obscured in small print buttons, or further down the page. But, seems mostly like the genre of "Download Managers" have a lock on things, or "Before you download ..." hypes. I hope that MajorGeeks continues to take me directly to the download.

    Welcome aboard, I'm sure MG's will continue their no-nonsense approach forever as they hate that misdirection crap too.
