    I'v noticed (like any one else on this site) that the downloading method is now navigating to another page before the download starts .. why did you do that ?!,It was much faster with one click away.. :( Now the downloading doesn't start at most, even with a thousand refresh hit.. :doh: Please fix that ! ,or just roll it back to the old method .. :rolleyes: Sorry for the bad news! :-O

    There is always hope ..!

      We did this because it's important for new members to be aware that there are licensing terms associated with the downloads. We are making the assumption that more experienced members are aware enough to check articles' license terms before downloading, so they don't see this intermediate page. The download page should have a direct link to the download if, for some reason it doesn't automatically start downloading. Do you have any add-ins installed such as ad blockers, or do you have auto-refresh disabled on your browser?

        Thank you Chris for fast responding. I appreciate your job and the many others who kept our lovely site in it's best. Now I see why that changes ,But even the 'Click her if download does not apprear' doesn't do the job at most of my cases. any Idea how to make that work for me ? BTW -I don't have any add-ins installed such ad blockers ,and my browser has been set to auto refresh as I think.

        There is always hope ..!
