I've registered several times, and although the id for the download URL changes (the above one isn't mine), the file you download remains the same. I opened the registry key (.reg) and it's the same one for all the 6 I've downloaded.

Is the download link as slow as the site? Since it says I only have 2 attempts to download it using the link, maybe I should just save it for later when the site is working better. blushing.gif

I have had better luck with Opera in getting to the site - don't know why.

Can anyone supply me a link to download the 3.51 free program? I was unable to get in on it yesterday. (that is assuming any copy will work with the key provided)
